The X Factor 2016 live act: Four of Diamonds

Who are they? The girl group have received a last minute invite back to The X Factor, following the decision to drop Louis Walsh's original group Brooks Way from the show.

Show bosses suspended 17-year-old twins Josh and Kyle Brooks while investigating allegations relating to Josh's treatment of his former girlfriend Amelia Clarke. Louis said he grabbed at the chance to bring back Four of Diamonds.
