Louis Walsh: (Introduction) As everybody knows, I've only got one act left in this competition but he's really, really good and that's why I came back this week. It's Shayne Ward.
Intro clip... Louis Walsh: Last week, the pressure of the show and everything that was going on with the judges, it just got too much and I quit.
Shayne: When I found out that Louis had gone, I was so shocked. I couldn't believe it. For the first time in the competition, I felt on me own.
Louis Walsh: I was at home and I was thinking about my decision and I realised I couldn't go through with it. I couldn't abandon Shayne 'cause I absolutely believe in him.
Philomena: (Shayne's Mum) He's just an ordinary lad, wants a better life. For someone to come so far with the life that he's had, it would make a lot of difference. (Cries) He deserves it.
Shayne: I am so grateful that Louis's come back for me. He's put his faith in me and that means a lot, and now, I just want to prove to him that he has made the right decision.
Louis Walsh: I'm back and I'm back with a vengeance. Shayne and I are not going anywhere without a fight.
Shayne sings...
Kate Thornton: Okay Simon, let's start with you, your comments please?
Simon Cowell: Well, can I... can I first of all congratulate my learned colleague's performance in the VT? (Louis grins and rocks back in his chair)
Sharon Osbourne: (Claps) Yeah!
Simon Cowell: Fantastic! Uhm ... I think, you know, on paper, Shayne that should've been a disaster. However, you pulled it off. It was terrific... you've got what ehm...(Cheers) ... you've got I think the capable... the capability of what Robbie's got, which is to take a song outside of your comfort zone, have fun with it, entertain an audience. I thought it was terrific. Well done.
Shayne: Thanks Simon.
Kate Thornton: Thanks Simon. Sharon?
Sharon Osbourne: Yeah. It was really nice ...
Audience Member: Go, Shayne!
Sharon Osbourne: Ooh!...
Shayne: Thank you. I love you Shayne lovers.
Sharon Osbourne: It was really nice to see you having fun up there... having a good time, and I really felt that you were really having a good time. And at this stage in the contest, that's very rare. It's good to see that. However, that song is awfully annoying but with your voice ... (Laughter) ... that song is, it's gimmicky song but it was fun for you to do. And you know what? You are a star! (Cheers)
Kate Thornton: Thanks Sharon. Louis, you came back to continue mentoring Shayne. What do you want to say?
Louis Walsh: Shayne, I mean I actually hated The Darkness version of that song but your version was absolutely fantastic. (Cheers) You know, it proved you're a very versatile singer. You've got the X Factor, the fun factor and the sex factor. You've got everything.
Kate Thornton: Thanks Louis. (To Shayne) Shayne, great comments! What do you want to say to the judges?
Shayne: Thank you very much for your comments. Erm... (Points to his smile) ...you've just put the biggest smile on my face. (Cheers) So, just honestly, thank you very much. Thank you, that's all I can say.
Kate Thornton: But do you want to see Shayne back here singing for your votes next Saturday? (Kate gives out the voting numbers etc) ...But for now, ladies and gentlemen, let's hear if for Shayne. (Shayne kisses Kate on the cheek then exits the stage, smiling and waving to the audience.)
