Manxman Simon Lynch makes it to next stage at the judge's houses
A Manxman aiming to be the next big thing in the world of pop has made it through to the next round of the X Factor.
On last night's show, 23-year-old Simon Lynch from Greeba faced the Six-Chair Challenge.
He wowed the judges with his performance of Jess Glynne's hit 'Hold My Hand'.
Simon now goes through to the round where each category - boys, girls, groups and 'overs' (the older contestants) head to the judge's houses.
The boys are under the wing of Nick Grimshaw.
