There wasn’t a dry eye in the house during the X Factor auditions after Christian Burrows stepped into the room.

The 19-year-old had tears rolling down Nicole Scherzinger’s cheeks after he performed an original song he had written for his dead brother.

He started off performing John Denver’s Take Me Home, but was encouraged by Simon Cowell to try something else.

The result had everyone in pieces.

With all four judges saying yes, Christian sailed through to Bootcamp.
