We're still in complete shock over Gifty Louise being eliminated from The X Factor at the weekend.

After all, she was pretty bloody good, wasn't she?

We'll miss her effortlessly cool style, multiple hair looks and constant singing of Fifth Harmony songs now she's gone.

But fear not, dear heat readers, because Gifty has got her heart set on the bright lights of Hollywood.

Yes, that's right. Gifty tweeted to out to her fans that she is planning on moving stateside, presumably to keep the dream alive and make it big.

She posted: "LA is calling my name, it's beautiful out there."

We've been there on holiday before and can confirm it is indeed beautiful.

We hope former mentor Simon Cowell hooks Gifty up with some BIG Hollywood contacts while she's over there. He kinda owes her, right?

The singer's time on the show was cut short when she was eliminated by judges Louis Walsh, Sharon Osbourne and Nicole Scherzinger on Sunday night.

And since she got the boot, Gifty has caused quite the controversy.

Firstly, she accused Nicole of being two-faced for voting to get rid of her. Ooh, burn.

“I was a little bit surprised," she told The Sun. "On Xtra Factor Nicole kind of turned around and said Gifty shouldn’t have gone home, but you voted for me to go out…?”

In another interview, she then claimed she'd been TOLD she about her elimination the night before it happened. OH THE SCANDAL.

"Oh I knew I was going home," she told On Demand Entertainment. "I got told I was going home on the Saturday night, so I knew."

We reached out to The X Factor about Gifty's claims but they didn't get back to us.
