Here's everything you need to know about the singer who was eliminated in Big Band week…

Who is Bella Penfold?

Bella Penfold, 19, is from Essex and works as a singer at a hotel.

She rose to fame as an X Factor contestant following her first audition during which she sang Joss Stone's Fell In Love With A Boy.

Ayda Field commented on her audition, saying: "You're like a puppy. You still need to grow into your paws, but I see a lot of potential in you."

Bella then made it through the Six Chair Challenge singing Blinded by your Grace which moved Simon so immensely that he decided to press his golden buzzer.

She made it to the live shows but was voted out of the competition on November 18 during Big Band Week after receiving the lowest number of public votes.

Who are this year's X Factor judges?

The judging panel for the fifteenth series of the show has seen a major overhaul.

Simon Cowell remains but all three other judges have been replaced.

That means that Nicole Scherzinger, Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne are no longer on the panel.

Instead, they have been replaced by Louis Tomlinson, Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field. Sharon Osbourne will also help out during the live shows.
