X Factor reject Rachel Adedeji has said that she has "no regrets" over her performances on the hit talent contest. The 18-year-old told Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby on This Morning that she "wouldn't change a thing" despite losing out in the public vote against Lloyd Daniels on Sunday night.

Rachel lost the sing-off with the Welsh youngster after the judges reached deadlock and put the decision to the results of the public vote.

Adedeji told Phillip that she knew that she would loose out to Daniels because the youngster has a "massive fanbase".

She said: "We all know that Lloyd has got a lot of fans out there, he can sing lovely and he's beautiful. There are so many people who just `love' Lloyd and I thought, I been in two sing-off's and this must be it."

Holly asked Rachel if she thought that Simon Cowell had "done the right thing" in taking the decision to the results of the public vote.

Rachel replied: "I think that it's only fair that he took it to deadlock. If anything he might have done me a favour.

"This is not the end of me."

The singer told Phillip that she would "not have changed a thing" about her performances on the show.

She explained: "I always tell myself before I go on stage, that I am going to go out there and give it my all and have fun with everything I do.

"Every performance, I did it like it was my last. I wouldn't change a thing."

She added: "Seriously, if it's not meant to be, then it's not meant to be."
