Video: Matt through to the next round of the X-Factor
BOOKIES favourite Matt Cardle is through to the next round of the X-factor.
The painter and decorator from Halstead in Essex was voted through after performing in the first of the live shows last night.
Taking to the famous stage, in front of the judges, the 27-year-old sang his version of the hit David Guetta song When Love Takes Over.
The first act to leave the show, receiving the least votes, was Nicolo Festa.
Group F.Y.D and Katie Waissel, who is in Cheryl Cole’s category, performed again for the judges in the sing-off with the judges voting to save Katie, making F.Y.D the second act to leave.
