DISTRICT 3 face an X Factor sing-off against Union J tonight.
The lads - featuring Clacton's Greg West - found themselves in the bottom two of the public vote despite wowing judges Nicole, Louis and Tulisa.
Only Take That's Gary Barlow said they weren't cut out to be the next big boyband.
Greg went to school in Manningtree.
District3 are first in the sing-off.
