However, Vinnie’s gallant sacrifice went in vain as show boss Simon insisted he stay and continue in the show. 

Both Vinnie and Kevin pulled off stellar sing-off performances, with Vinnie moving everyone to tears with an emotional acappella rendition of Galway Shawl.

Ahead of the judges vote, the star decided that it was his time to leave the show and made to sacrifice his place in the competition to keep Kevin in.

He went on to praise Kevin, stating that he was a ‘real singer’ whom he thinks could  ‘win it’.

After explaining his situation, he concluded: ‘For that reason I’d like to step down.’

However, in a shock move, Simon went against his wishes and instead insisted that he continue, joking that he didn’t want to get on the wrong side of him.  

The music mogul demanded that he make the ‘final decision’ and called for the judges to continue voting regardless.

Nicole Scherzinger, who mentors Vinnie, chose to save him, while Louis Walsh opted to protect his act Kevin.
