The Irish singer and the last performer in the Overs category came bottom of the vote in Saturday’s semi-final.

While Murray failed to impress viewers with his cover of Snow Patrol’s Run, Tetley failed to gain enough votes with a version of This Is My Life, originally by Shirley Bassey.

One more act – either Acacia and Aaliyah, Dalton Harris, Scarlett Lee or Anthony Russell – will be eliminated from the contest on Sunday night.

X Factor fans who felt there was a lack of ABBA songs during Saturday's Mamma Mia! night – although the evening saw contestants perform a medley of songs by the Swedish Supergroup, the first hour of the show saw acts perform non-ABBA tunes, from Bon Jovi's Livin' on a Prayer to Snow Patrol's Run.
