John Wilding has once again been rejected at the judges’ houses stage of the singing competition.

John Wilding has once again been rejected at the judges’ houses stage of the singing competition.

The singer from Essex first tried to make it through last year after impressing Simon Cowell. At Dannii Minogue’s house (pictured above) she decided not to take him through to the live shows. With a new set of judges this year, Wilding tried his luck again and gained an exceptional response after he performed ‘Love You Like I Do’ by Jennifer Hudson. Ahead of hearing whether he had made it through he said:  “Regardless of what happens, this will be the last time I come for X Factor. I don’t think I could put myself through it again.”
