It was a tense bootcamp audition for Wicklow brothers Sean and Conor Price on tonight's X Factor.

The brothers from Blessington had reached the second stage of the bootcamp auditions where they were performing in front of the four judges and 4,000 people.

The singers initially performed the Madcon song "Begging" but this wasn't well received by the judges and they were asked to perform another song.

They chose 'Sing' by Ed Sheeran and it was a huge success with the crowd and judges, gaining them a place in the Six Chair Challenge.

The two students have been busking on Grafton Street for the last three years.

It has been reported in the media that they have made it through to Judges Houses on the hit tv show.

At their initial audition, the teenagers chose the classic Jimi Hendrix song 'All Along the Watchtower' but promised to bring "youth and energy" to the song.
