27-year-old Sheffield labourer Adam Howarth appeared on the ITV show in the hopes of providing a better life for his daughter and three step-children.

He performed his original song Losing Streak in a bid to impress judges Olly, Will.I.Am, Tom Jones and Meghan Trainor.

Adam’s brilliant performance was an immediate hit with viewers and the audience alike, with members of the studio audience willing the judges to turn.

Unfortunately, none of them did, meaning he bowed out of the competition at the blind auditions stage.

Former X Factor finalist turned judge Olly Murs tweeted: “Sack us!! He was sooooooo good! What a bunch of lemons.”

Viewers took to Twitter to comment on Adam’s talent, with many saying he should have gone through to the next stage of the competition.

Another viewer said: “sorry Adam didn’t get through as really liked his voice and he sung his own song.”
