Concept thanks fans for support after leaving X Factor

TADLEY boyband Concept have vowed they 'will not stop' after being sent home from the X Factor competition last night (Friday).
The five-strong group consists of Ben Selley, the cousin of One Direction’s Harry Styles, Matt Goodenough, Scott Dicks and Karim Newton, all from Tadley, and Nathan Gittens from Basingstoke.
The band had made it through to the judges houses round - with their mentor Louis Walsh - having impressed judges in their auditions and then at bootcamp.
However, the X Factor dream came to an end for Concept last night as Louis Walsh revealed they would not be among the three groups he had chosen to take to the live shows, the next stage of the competition.
Soonafter the programme had aired on ITV - which had been pre-recorded - the band tweeted "It was a surreal experience #ConceptWillNotStop", "Connies, we love you! Onwards & upwards from here #ConceptWillNotStop", and 'We have great memories, we've made lifelong friends and it was an amazing experience. Now time to go."
The hashtag #ConceptWillNotStop went on to trend worldwide on Twitter, making it one of the most talked about topics on the social media platform last night.
Hundreds of messages were sent to Concept from their fans expressing their shock and disappointment, and also words of encouragement that they were sure it was not the last they would be seeing of the group.
Afterwards, Concept tweeted: "All your tweets just show us why we love you guys so much. Thank you."
Taken through to the next round were Blonde Electra, Only The Young and the eight-strong group put together by the X Factor.
The judges houses episodes continue tonight (Saturday) and tomorrow.
