Kandy Rain promised they would "have gone all out" to be even raunchier if they had been allowed to continue in The X Factor.

The London-based girl group were the first act voted off the ITV series after a sing-off with Rachel Adedeji but said they would've pushed their skimpy outfits and sexy moves even further had they stayed in.

"We would have gone all out - we had a lot of tricks up our sleeve but unfortunately you don't get to see it because you didn't vote," said 22-year-old law student Coco Lloyd.

Dance teacher Chemmane Applewhaite, 26, added: "We would have got bigger and better. We want to get people talking about what we're going to sing and what we're going to wear. We want to be different, and we're not scared to take risks. We don't want to be the same. The X Factor lack people like ourselves. We're fearsome and fun!"

Kandy Rain - whose routines had brought criticism from judges Cheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue, with Cheryl saying they were "dressed too provocatively" - knew their past lives as strippers would count against them and expected to be in the bottom two. But they said their exit was a "blessing in disguise".

"We were feeling really upset last night, but we've got to see the positive in this," said Khatereh Dovani, 24.

Model Azi Jegbefume, 25, added: "We didn't deserve to go out. We did a great performance - our Fighter song was so strong - and we went out on a high."

Although mentor Louis Walsh was absent from the show following the death of his friend, Boyzone star Stephen Gately, the girls said he had been in constant contact with them since their departure.






Way to go you plonkers, you should of all voted for us lads!
