Essex singer James Graham moved one step closer to achieving his X Factor dream landing a place in next weekend's first live show after making it through the judges' houses stage with his new boy band.
After jetting off to island paradise Bermuda James, 17, from Westerwings, Bicknacre, along with his new band mates impressed Louis Walsh and guest judge Tulisa Contostavlos with a rendition of Mirrors by Justin Timberlake on tonight's episode.
Tulisa said: "Performance wise they completely gripped me I loved it, you've got to hope the bond they have made stays that way."
Louis added: "You have got great chemistry and you've got a good work ethic. Boys, it's not good news it's great news!"
Even though the group were only formed prior to the bootcamp stage they will now perform as one of the 12 finalists in next week's live show.
James and his fellow group members Reece Bibby (15), Tom Mann (20), Casey Johnson (19), Jake Sims (19), Charlie Jones (14), Barclay Beales (18) and Chris Leonard (18), each of whom failed to make it through to bootcamp as solo artists will be joined by girl group Blonde Electric and four piece band Only The Young, in next week's show.
James and his seven band mates are still without a name for their group and viewers were encouraged to contact ITV with name suggestions.
