Sam Callahan has got through to next week's X Factor show, despite being criticised for last night's performance.

Dedicated Sam, whom mentor Louis Walsh said was the hardest working contestant, was criticised for his vocals in his rendition of Relight My Fire.

But he has a strong fanbase and Callafans took to Twitter throughout the day to garner support.
