Of her fellow judges choosing to save Stereo Kicks ahead of Chloe Jasmine, Cheryl said: "It's their decision, I think they lost a very intriguing character."

The X Factor: What did the judges have to say about '80s Week?
"She's had a really bad swollen foot all week, she puts her heels on, she's on stage, and she's a true pro, but moreover she's hugely entertaining."
Cheryl said of the chance that one of her surviving acts would win the competition: "Obviously, I've still got Lauren and Lola, who are absolutely outstanding.
"I think for the show overall, we've lost a very interesting character and we've lost the cool factor, so overall I think we have lost some quality to the show."
When show boss Simon Cowell noted that he had four acts to Cheryl's two, she retorted: "We'll see about it. 4-2 - one can win, we'll see. Ready to roll."
