WATCH: Irish Eurovision entrant, Brendan Murray receives X Factor golden buzzer

The button, comparable to the Golden buzzer on Britain's Got Talent, sends the contestants straight through to judges' houses, the final stage before the live shows.

You may remember him as Ireland’s 2018 Eurovision entrant but Brendan Murray has found himself in the limelight of a very different stage - the Judges’ Houses stage on this year’s X Factor.

The Galway native won his place by receiving Louis Tomlinson’s coveted Golden X during the show’s six chair challenge.
