The Conway Sisters have criticised Simon Cowell's treatment of them, but admit that it was "our time to go."

They said that even before voting them out of the X Factor, the music boss was unable to help them progress.

"He didn't really know what to do with us as a band. He was completely lost," explained Marie. "It was a relief to him that we decided to choose our own songs

She said the band were upset to have left the programme, but added: "We've been in the bottom two for the past few weeks and we weren't getting a huge amount of support from our mentor. We felt it was our week to go."
