Sean Miley Moore has been chosen by 'The X Factor' judges to take the eighth spot on 'The X Factor 2016 Live Tour'.

The 24-year-old singer was booted off the ITV singing contest earlier this month but with a new rule this year that allowed judges Simon Cowell, Nick Grimshaw, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Rita Ora to pick who the final contestant to go on the live tour is, they all agreed on Sean.

Nick confirmed: "Sean really deserved his spot on the tour, myself and the other judges felt we lost him too early from the competition so it's brilliant he's been given this opportunity to go on the road with the other acts and perform in some of the UK's biggest arenas."

The Australian-born singer said it's a "dream come true" being allowed to perform.

He said: "I cannot believe that my 'X Factor' journey isn't over, I am so excited to be going on the tour and cannot believe I'll be performing on the same stages as some of my idols, it's like a dream come true."

Sean completes the line-up, which also includes contestants Anton Stephans, 4th Impact, Reggie 'N' Bollie, Louisa Johnson, Lauren Murray, Che Chesterman and Mason Noise.
