STEVI Ritchie's bizarre Egyptian-themed performance on tonight's show saved him from the first of two eliminations this weekend.

The Colchester singer, 34, sang Elton John's I'm Still Standing.

Speaking after his performance, mentor Simon Cowell said: "It was a little bit nutty.

"It was without question the craziest thing I have ever seen on any of these shows."

In a twist in tonight's show, one act was voted off shortly after the final performance.

Only The Young received the lowest number of votes and were sent home.

Another act will be kicked off the hit ITV show tomorrow night.
