Simon Cowell said she ‘lacked personality’ and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini thought she was too ‘shy’ but thanks to Rita Ora, Holly Johnson got another chance on the X Factor.
The singing hopeful was brought back by the judges after they admitted to making a mistake by letting her go.
Holly had performed Sam Smith’s hit Like I Can during the final stages of boot camp, but at first Simon wasn’t impressed so she was sent to the rejection room.
