The busking brothers from Wicklow divided the X Factor judges at bootcamp last night

It’s time to get behind these two.

BUSKING BROTHERS Conor and Sean Price from Blessington in Wicklow seriously impressed judges at their first X Factor audition in Edinburgh a few weeks ago.

They flew through to boot camp, which was finally aired last night. The duo performed Beggin by Madcon at Wembly in front of 4,000 people, but it didn’t go down as well as their first audition.

Simon said it was the least favourite performance he’d seen by the 17 and 15-year olds, and stopped them just seconds into the song.

But all hope wasn’t lost.

They performed Sing by Ed Sheeran, to much better results, and are now through to next week’s six-chair challenge
