Judge Nicole Scherzinger was so wowed by Jenny’s performance that she gave her a safe seat, meaning she’s through to next week and avoids the public vote.
Jenny wowed both the judges and viewers with her performance but Simon Cowell insisted he didn’t chuck her out of the competition after she wasn’t given a space in the live shows.
