The legendary singer brought the house down when he poured his heart out singing Crumble, a song about his beloved late wife, Linda Trenchard.
The heart-felt track was all too much for Anne-Marie to take and she revealed she actually had to walk off afterwards.
Sir Tom bravely explained the meaning of his song to fans.
He said: "Now this song is very important to me. I try to pick songs that mean a lot to me.
"And this song is trying to tell you that people that you love, sometimes they need to be backed up. You need to give them strength and encouragement."
His fellow judges and fans fell silent as Tom sang the song, released as part of his album Surrounded By Time, last year.
He went on to explain that he had written the emotional song in memory of his wife Melinda, who passed away in 2016.
Tom was left heartbroken when Linda passed away aged 75 in Los Angeles after a "short but fierce" battle with lung cancer.
He said: "My wife, you know, she was dying of lung cancer, so I said, you know, I was always able to fix stuff, to do things if she needed me I was always there.

"She said, 'Don't crumble with me, don't fall now, you've done everything you can, you must carry on and do what you do.' So I put the song, when I heard it, it was like it was written for this situation. It's a lovely song."
