Brad Howard was noticeably absent from the Six Chair Challenge despite making it through bootcamp.
And the singer – who has previously been in a relationship with Michelle Keegan – had certainly left an impression on those watching the ITV show.
The 30-year-old wowed judges with his impressive vocals throughout the competition and even asked Nicole Scherzinger for her number during his audition.
However, Brad was nowhere to be seen when the former Pussycat Doll member whittled down her her Overs category to just six hopefuls.
Viewers couldn’t help but ask where the singer was during the tough round as one person wrote on Twitter: “I’m sorry but I personally think #xfactor are bang out of order for not showing @BradHoward3 guys got pure talent.”
“Literally just realised @bradhoward3 was cut from #sixchairchallenge – why the f**k? #xfactor,” said another.
A third was very disappointed Brad hadn’t been shown as they commented: “I’m so confused where did @BradHoward3 go? been waiting for him all weekend to realise he hasn’t been shown!”
One viewer thought they had missed some of the show as they wrote: “Right so I watched tonight’s #sixchairchallenge back cause I thought I’d missed a bit… where the hell was @BradHoward3? #XFactor.”
Taking to Instagram, Brad explained the reason being his absence and revealed he did perform at the Wembley Arena but he wasn’t shown.
He wrote: “Catching up on last nights @thexfactor shame you didn’t get to see me up there but what a journey that was performing in front of 5,000 at Wembley was absolute NUTS!!!
“Met some proper legends & friends for life, buzzed off every single minute of it #WatchThisSpace.”
Nicole will be joined by Stormzy during the Judges’ Houses round this weekend after picking her final six of Talia Dean, Slavko, Kevin Davy White, Tracy Leanne Jefford, Berget Lewis and Matt Linnento
