X Factor Celebrity twist as Jenny Ryan joins live shows

On Saturday evening’s X Factor: Celebrity viewers saw Jenny Ryan fail to make it through to the live shows.

However, in a surprising turn of events Jenny is set to be part of the Simon Cowell’s singing competition again.

After the celebrities sung their hearts out on the most recent episode, the judges made the difficult decision to send Hayley Hasselhoff and Brendan Cole and Jeremy Edwards home as well as telling Jenny Ryan they could, at that point, not give her a yes.

However, after considering the celebrities’ performances again, Simon, Nicole and Louis decided that one of those acts still deserved a coveted spot in the live shows.

The Chase Vixen, Jenny Ryan is that lucky singer.

Her mentor Nicole said: “Jenny was just brilliant at her audition in LA. That voice of hers is one of a kind, and she’s an amazing person to get to know.

“So it was such a tough decision to make. After a lot of discussion we all agreed we had to put her through.

“The Overs are gonna smash it this year!”

She will join the 13 acts who are all hoping to win the votes of the public in the coming weeks as they compete for the ultimate prize of a record contract.

Jenny said: “I’ve loved every moment of The X Factor and I’m delighted to be able to get the opportunity to perform live.

“The response from the public has been amazing – what an incredible experience. I’m so pleased it’s continuing!”

Footballer-turned-film star Vinnie Jones is also making an appearance after Simon Cowell rang him on Saturday’s show and asked him to sing in the live stages.
