First to go was Victoria Ekanoye, who received the lowest number of public votes.
In the end Jonny was sent packing after failing to impress the judges.
Louis Walsh voted to save Jonny and Nicole Scherzinger saved Martin.

Safe from the public vote this week was No Love Lost, made up of ex-Love Islanders Wes Nelson, Eyal Booker, Samira Mighty and Zara McDermott.
Also safe was Kevin McHale who was saved by judge Louis Walsh, which came as a shock to many viewers as he was a firm favourite to be eliminated this weekend judging by the odds.
Ahead of tonight’s show, Martin Bashir was the favourite to leave Celebrity X Factor across the bookie’s board.
He was at odds of 4/5 to leave the competition for good at Ladbrokes and 4/6 at William Hill.
At Ladbrokes, the second favourites to go were No Love Lost at 2/1 and Kevin McHale at 3/1.
Ladbroke’s spokesperson Jessica O’Reilly said: “It looks like Martin will be making the headlines this weekend, but not for the reasons he’s used to as it’s odds-on he’ll be given the boot from Celebrity X factor”
