A 16-year-old girl from South Croydon is through to the next round of X Factor.

It wasn't easy going for Croydon's Rai-Elle Williams though as she had to battle head-to-head during the first episode of the Six Chair Challenge round.

Judges Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Sharon Osbourne and Nicole Scherzinger were all impressed with Rai-Elle's performance of Simon & Garfunkel's ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’ with Simon saying it was the "best so far."

This didn't stop Rai-Elle having to sing for her place a second time though.

She was pitted against other X Factor hopefuls Alisah Bonaobra and Scarlett Lee in an a head-to-head a cappella contest.

In the end it was Rai-Elle and Alisah going through to the next round, with Lee the odd one out.

This stage of the competition will see each judge pick which acts in their categories - girls, boys, groups and over 27s - to take into their own houses for further training.

X Factor continues on ITV at 8.15pm on Saturday.
