TEESSIDE'S Amelia Lily is through to the next round of the X Factor, but she was left to sweat it out.

The Nunthorpe lass found herself in the bottom two after she and Craig Colton polled the fewest viewer votes.

However, although the judges could not separate the pair following a sing-off featuring Craig's version of Will You Love Me Tomorrow? and Amelia's take on Lady Ga Ga's You and I, the public decided she should live to fight another day.

Gary Barlow said he felt Amelia "shouted her way through" her song, but Louis Walsh told host Dermot O'Leary "I think Amelia Lily is a worldwide, ready-made pop star".
