Miley Cyrus performed her international smash hit ‘Wrecking Ball’ live on The X Factor last night

Instead of swinging naked from a demolition ball, Miley opted for a much more understated performance singing on top of a gargantuan sand dune wearing a gold dress and black turban.

The performance divided the UK public with some describing the it as “horrible” and others praising Miley’s “amazing voice and beautiful tone.” See what you think right here:

Miley told the millions watching at home afterwards: "I will be here next year in the spring on my 'Bangerz' tour. I will be here for a very long time so I'm looking forward to seeing you here next year."

Sam Callahan became the sixth contestant to be booted off The X Factor last night after losing in the Judges’ vote to Luke Friend.

Gary Barlow and Nicole Scherzinger both nominated Sam for the exit, Louis Walsh abstained and Sharon Osbourne wasn’t required to vote.
