Brooks Way fans wonder if they are making X Factor return following new photo
Fans asked if the boys were back on the show
X Factor fans were left wondering if axed group Brooks Way had made a return to show as a picture emerged of Josh Brooks with current contestant Sam Lavery.
Josh and his twin brother Kyle were dumped from the show last week after the 17-year-old was accused of being violent towards his ex-girlfriend. The boys have since been replaced by Four Of Diamonds but a recent social media snap left fans wondering if they still have some involvement in the show.
Josh uploaded the snap with Sam to Brooks Way’s official Instagram account and captioned it with ‘Someone’s camera shy @samlaveryy’.

Fans were quick to comment on the snap asking if the boys had made a return to the show. One user wrote ‘Are you back on The X Factor?!’ with another adding ‘WAIT! Are you coming back?’ and a third saying ‘Omg! Please be back!’.
Despite the new snap, it seems the boys won’t be returning to show, a spokesperson for The X Factor has since said “Brooks Way will not be returning to the show".
Josh released an official statement announcing the groups departure from the show earlier in the week. It read, “I’ve decided that it’s best not to be on the show at this time. While not everything that has been claimed is true I would like to apologise to everyone involved.”
X Factor bosses later confirmed that girl group Four of Diamonds would be returning to the show to replace the boys, despite having been sent home by mentor Louis Walsh at Judges Houses.
Speaking about their return, Four of Diamonds said, "We are so excited to be back on The X Factor, we’re really looking forward to performing live, working hard and showing everyone what we’re made of."
Four of Diamonds’ first live performance will be on Saturday (15th October) during Motown week.
