CHICO time is up for The X Factor hopeful after he was booted off the talent show on Saturday night.

The 34-year-old former goat herder, from Lee, was voted off by the judges after a cheesy rendition of Rocky Horror Show classic The Timewarp.

Chico Slimani has shot to national fame with his racy routines and dance moves and his famous "It's Chico Time" catchphrase.

But pop mogul and judge Simon Cowell criticised the Moroccan-born entertainer, for his weak singing voice.

After his eviction on Saturday, Chico said: "I'm not disappointed. I thought I would go out at the first audition."
