Screams of delight could be heard across a Garston supermarket today as X Factor rejects Miss Frank took to the floor.

Graziella Affinita, Shaniece Davis and Shar Alexandra, who make up the three-piece group Miss Frank, were booted out of the prime time television show X Factor on Sunday, after an intense vocal battle against show favourite Danyl Johnson.

But this did not deter the hoards of fans and shoppers who turned out in force at Asda in Garston to support the all-girl group as they performed a live set organised by Talk Talk.

An excited Helen Eamus, 22, said: “I really love X Factor.

“I’ve been following this series and have supported the twins John and Edward and Miss Frank.

“I couldn’t wait to see the girls perform here today, it’s brilliant.”

Children and adults scrambled to get as close to the trio as possible as the girls performed a rendition of Aretha Franklin’s Respect, Rose Royce’s Love Don’t Live Here Any More and their audition song Frank Sinatra's That’s Life.

Putting her own spin on each of the tracks, Graziella Affinita sang her trademark raps halfway through the songs, while the other girls accompanied her in soulful harmony.

Ian Frampton, 33, who was accompanied by his children, said: “We were shopping in Asda and heard that the girls would be performing.

“I’ve been watching the X Factor this year and thought the girls were great.

“They shouldn’t have left this week, not when you look at who they were up against.

“They were fantastic then and they’re fantastic now.”

After their brief gig, Miss Frank happily signed photos for eager fans as they expressed their happiness at performing in Asda, but their disappointment at having to leave X Factor early.

Graziella Affinita said: “It’s great to perform here in Asda, the show went really well and we’ve had a great reception.

“Of course we would have liked to have carried on with X Factor, but it’s just the way it is.

“You could say it’s a bit like the song we just performed - that’s life.”
