THE Judges Houses round continued on The X Factor tonight, and the show was full to the brim with passionate performances.

Here's the run down of everyone who got through to the live shows - and all the things you might have missed in between.

Robbie Williams was first to finalist his four acts for the Live Shows, following in Simon Cowell's lead last week.

Jetting the Groups category to LA, the battle soon got into full swing as the contestants sang for their place in the competition at the stunning family home he shares with wife Ayda.

While all hopefuls gave their best performances to date, it was the LMA Choir, A Star and Vibe Five who impressed Robbie first with their slick vocals.

However, dancing duo Misunderstood blew both Robbie and his co-judge David Walliams away with their original song Girls In London, tipping them for the show title.

With the episode was full of highs and lows, here's what you may have missed inbetween...

Robbie's vibrant wardrobe

While his six Groups wowed with their impressive harmonies, it was actually Robbie's wardrobe that somewhat stole the show.

The Angels hitmaker wore not one but THREE brightly-coloured shirts during the episode, and even paired his pink floral number with matching shorts for the performances themselves.

He later informed the Groups of their fate in a T-shirt patterned with bananas all over, perhaps in a bid to distract them from their nerves.

David's cheeky 'photo-bomb'

David Walliams had already delighted fans when he arrived as Robbie's house in leather hot pants, in homage to his band Take That.

But the BGT judge was up to his playful tricks throughout the episode, and was seen crashing one of Dermot O'Leary's VTs.

As the host introduced the comedian - gushing he was one of the best in the business - David couldn't help but strut in shot behind him, and pretend to lap up rapturous applause from a fake audience.

Take that, Take That!

Robbie rose to fame in Take That before going solo - and couldn't help but make a cheeky dig at the band during tonight's episode.

The singer, who famously fell out with the group before his departure 1995, was heard joking to his contestants Sweet Sense: "You guys are at the start of your band, when you all still like each other... so enjoy this moment."

When a chuckling David asked when things start to turn sour, Robbie simply quipped: "The first single!", leaving everyone in hysterics.

Louis and Liam have still got the moves

Next it was Louis' turn to narrow down his acts, and it came as no surprise that he enlisted the help of one of his fellow One Direction members - Liam Payne.

The band shot to fame on the ITV show in 2010, and despite going on a hiatus in 2016, Louis and Liam proved their boy band moves weren't History.

Throughout all of Louis' performances, the pair were seen bopping along to the music in unison, and even nodded their heads at the same emotional points.

Nile Rodgers and his words of wisdom

When the budding musicians were in need of a confidence boost, Nile Rodgers was the man for the job.

The Chic frontman eased contestant Anthony Russell's worries by telling him a story about David Bowie, who was left distraught by the sound of a cracked note on his hit Just Dance.

However, the songwriter admitted he kept the recording in, as he felt it showed the iconic singer's true emotion.

Nile will no doubt whip out plenty of other name drops on tomorrow night's episode.
