Tonight's episode of X Factor: Celebrity saw The Chase's Jenny Ryan return for the series' first round of live shows. And boy did she prove the judges made the right decision in bringing her back.
As the star herself put it, her journey up to this point has been quite a "rollercoaster". Although she initially wowed audiences with her singing skills, on last week's show she was eliminated by mentor Nicole Scherzinger.
However, after outrage from viewers and an online campaign that called for #JusticeForJenny, the judges changed their mind and invited her to come back for the live shows.
And she chose an absolute belter of a song to prove her worth tonight (October 26), singing Conchita Wurst's 'Rise like a Phoenix' – perhaps a sly comment about last week's events?
Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh loved her performance, as did Nicole, who decided to hand Jenny one of the three safe seats on offer, meaning she would be safe from elimination and will automatically continue through to next week.
The judge said she was "blown away" by Jenny's rendition of the Eurovision song, describing it as both ruthless and roofless, "because you just blew the roof off of this place right now".
What to Read Next
She went on to say: "This is your moment, so that's why I am giving you my safe seat."
And it's safe to say the audiences back at home agreed with Nicole's comments:
We can't wait to see what she's got in store for us next week.
The X Factor: Celebrity airs on Saturdays at 8.20pm on ITV.
