Live shows await Manxie
The ‘comeback kid’ from the Isle of Man is through to the live shows of the X-Factor this weekend.
Manxman Sam Black sang his way through the Judges' Houses stage.
The 27 year-old from Cronk y Berry in Douglas was only given another chance in the competition after a contestant dropped out last week.
Louis Walsh and guest judge Mika described him as a 'star'.
