X Factor 2014: Watch Jake Sims rap in Stereo Kicks' shaky sing off


X Factor band Stereo Kicks were left to face the dreaded sing-off after they found themselves in the bottom two on Sunday's elimination show.
Singing for survival, the boys chose Pink's hit Perfect, and while the vocals on the first verse were questionable, Jake Sims' rap was a huge hit with the audience.
 Lola Saunders was eventually sent home after the judges refused to agree on which act to eliminate from the competition and sent the voting to deadlock.
"I'm actually really annoyed at Stereo Kicks, why haven't you brought that before? That was your best performance," said Mel B.
We're not sure that's saying much though, Mel.
Jake has found himself in hot water over the past few weeks after his name has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
But we imagine that now the judges have discovered he can rap, there'll be a part shoe-horned into every performance especially for him.
It was touch and go whether Jake would feature on the show this week after reports claimed he had tweeted about drugs.
He was said to have posted messages about cannabis on Twitter last year, before he auditioned for  the ITV show.
A source close to Sims said: "Jake's not proud of how he's behaved in the past.
"He has done a lot of growing up over the past year and in no way wants to let his fans, or his band mates, down.
"He holds his hands up and accepts how stupid his behaviour was, but wants to put this behind him and focus on making the most of the opportunity he has been given."
A statement from the show said: "The X Factor does not condone the use of drugs in any way and appropriate action will be taken against any contestant found to be taking drugs while involved with the programme."
An X Factor source said: "We have a strict policy on anyone found taking drugs while they are in the competition, as has been shown in the past.
"However, it would not be appropriate for us to make judgments on people's backgrounds or past behaviour."
Lola Saunders' elimination comes after Jack Walton was sent home during a shock eviction during Saturday's Fright Night show
