15-year old Maltese singer Gaia Cauchi blew the X-Factor UK judges away, and earned four yeses, with a cover of Paloma Faith's 'Only Love Can Hurt Like This'.

Cauchi received praise from all 4 judges, not excluding the ever-critical Simon Cowell who quipped "Can I be the first to say yes?".

Two other judges, Ayda Field and Louis, both showered her with praised - with the former going as far as telling her that she was "absolutely incredible".

"An incredible singer there is no doubt about it. I think you're amazing and you have huge potential."

However, Robbie Williams did show some concern at her age, suggesting that whilst she did indeed have the X-Factor, she should 'have a go at being in a group' before being booed down by the crowd.

Social media showered the young star with praise, expressing their encouragement and wishing her good luck for the rest of the competition.

Gaia Cauchi had received the Gieh ir-Repubblika for her victory at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Kiev. She received the award in December 2013, and became the youngest person to be awarded Malta's highest honour.
