Cheryl
Fernandez Versini's chances of winning The X Factor were delivered a
devastating blow on Sunday night after two of her girls were sent home.
Both Chloe-Jasmine Whichello and Stephanie Nala were in the bottom three when it came to the results.
Stephanie,
who was also in the bottom three last week, was kicked off the
programme immediately after it was revealed she received the lowest
amount of public votes.

Double blow: Cheryl Fernandez Versini lost two of her four girls on Sunday's elimination show
Talking to to Dermot O'Leary, Stephanie said: 'I've had an amazing time, it's been a great journey.'
Speaking off her fallen charge, Cheryl added: 'Stephanie's been an absolutely pleasure.
'She's
very distinctive so she wasn't going to be everyone's cup of tea.. she
was a gamble and it's one I'd be more than happy to take again.'
Chloe was then forced into a sing-off with Louis Walsh's eight-piece boy band Stereo Kicks.

After being dubbed Kermit the frog last night on X-Factor eighties week, Cheryl came back fighting for the vote-off.
And while there were no frightful frogs in sight, it didn't bring any more luck to the star, whose group was halved this evening as we saw the exit of Stephanie Nala and Chloe Jasmine.
But at least Cheryl was looking tip-top to wave the girls off. Her dress is haute couture Nicolas Jebran and boy did she shine in it. Embellishments are key this season and our girl Chezza certainly knows how to work it. We are loving those metallic and black shoes too.
But we're eyeing up the Goddiva dress below, which is now in the sale too. It's bright and sassy and we know Cheryl would approve. Or if you fancy something a bit more 20 flappers girl-esque, then head to the Frock & Frill number.

responding the claims, a representative for the show told the
MailOnline that the acts fully supported each other while they reside
together in a luxury mansion outside of London.
The
spokesperson insisted: 'All of this year's contestants are very
supportive of one another and having a great time living together in the
house.
'Obviously it's a competition but nobody wants to see anyone go home at this stage.'
