They’re clearly being welcomed back with open arms. Xtra Factor host Matt Edmonson has said: ‘Welcome back @FourOfDiamonds_ ????.’

And fans are just as thrilled. Comments on the girls’ post included: ‘You should have been there in the first place! ?,’ ‘SO glad ur back ! ????,’ and: ‘Well done! Now prove Louis was wrong not to pick you in the first place and go and win the competition!’

Of course, there are a few viewers who were rooting for other acts, notably boy band Yes Lad.

Fans managed to get the hashtag #BringBackYESLAD trending, while others Tweeted: ‘Nooo!!! Should be YES LAD ?,’ and: ‘Why did Louis pick that 4 of diamond group n not yes lad to go back on the show? [sic].’

Hmm. You can’t win ’em all, eh?

Yes Lad were axed after Judges’ Houses

Brooks Way were axed from contest following shocking allegations from band member Josh’s girlfriend Amelia Clark, who claims he abused her.

The twins have since broken their silence on the frightening allegations, Tweeting on Sunday: ‘Today, we have had a tough day with a false allegation. Don’t believe everything you read, both Amelia and Josh will be stating the truth.’

On their dismissal, they’ve said: ‘By mutual consent, we feel like it was best to walk away from the show this year. While not everything that has been claimed is true..

‘I would like to apologise to everyone involved. And would like to thank everyone for there ongoing support and love. – Josh.’
