"Now that a place has opened up in my category, I’ve listened to the fans and am delighted to be bringing the girls back," he said.

The girl group made it to Judges' Houses this year, but failed to secure a place in Louis' original line-up for the live shows.

Now, they've been given an X Factor life line...

Four of Diamonds' first audition

X Factor admit that the quarter weren't exactly 'close' before their first audition – a spokesperson told the Sun that they had all initially auditioned as soloists.

However, by the time they came together in front of the judges to sing Meghan Trainor’s No, they did more than enough to secure their place in the next round.

X Factor journey

In the Six Chair Challenge the girls nabbed a place with Jamelia’s Stop.

In their (unsuccessful) performance at Judges' Houses, they sang Lorde’s Royals. They thought their journey had ended here, but Brooks Way's loss is their gain...
