People aren’t happy about it.
Sunday night’s 6 chair challenge was as controversial as ever, with Sharon making the decision of who to bring to judges houses in the overs category.
The final 6 were chosen by Sharon and after some seat swapping Samantha Atkinson, James Wilson, Relley C, Christopher Peyton, Janet Grogan and Ivy Grace were chosen.

However it was later revealed on The Xtra Factor that Filipino singer Ivy Grace would not be progressing to Sharon’s house due to an issue with her visa.
The singer was a firm favourite among viewers since her first audition in which she sang a Whitney Houston song.
When Sharon was left with an open spot she made the controversial decision to bring rapper Honey G back for the judges houses stage.

Honey G has been memorable to say the least since her first audition, but many viewers question her talent and are wondering why she was chosen as the wildcard over other talented singers. Especially considering that she didn’t get a seat during the challenge.
