X Factor - Girlband are ill after Ruth Lorenzo thrashing

Girlband became the second act to leave The X Factor on Saturday night and are still struggling to accept that their dreams are over.

Layla Manoochehri has revealed to the official X Factor website that she feels physically sick after losing out to Spanish senoritta Ruth Lorenzo.

She said: "Even if we'd got through again this week, I'm not sure I could have sung for survival again.

"It's such an emotionally draining experience; it took a whole week to pick myself up again! Today, I feel physically ill because I've cried so much.

Ruth might have given a confident performance when she sang the Prince classic Purple rain but Layla admits that she found the sing off tough too.

She said: "Ruth was so devastated she could hardly talk. She felt so bad to have survived when we didn't.

"But we love Ruth, and we know exactly how she feels. After all, we were in the same position last week."

Layla and the rest of Girlband are hoping that they can continue singing together: "We're going to take what we have and run with it! The hard work begins now. We have a couple of TV appearances tomorrow, and we're part of the charity single Hero.

"You never know, we could be number one next week, how can you complain."
