Everything you need to know about Saturday night’s X Factor show

Then Cheryl unleashed the venom. That was a bit cruise ship for me.

There were fears that Louisa Johnson wouldn’t be able to take part in The X Factor final due to issues with her vocal chords.

Louisa Johnson had to cancel a scheduled appearance in Liverpool on Wednesday night and doctors have got her on strict bed rest ahead of this weekend’s final.

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini gushed over the Essex teenager, saying: “I believe you can fly, too”.

Louisa Johnson is far and away the favourite, with bookmakers William Hill having her at 1/5 to win this year’s competition.

Simon Cowell had been less than impressed with Che’s rendition of “Valerie”, telling him that he looked “like a bag of nerves” throughout.

Favourite performance: “Louisa singing Let It Go because it was as good as I’ve ever seen on the show and I think that could be the moment that she turned from being a contender into being a star”.

Simon Cowell says Adele agreeing to perform during the X Factor final is “the best news I’ve had all year”.

An emotional Rita, who has championed Louisa as a victor all the way, said: “I’m so proud of her. I have been such a fan of this show and the only people that have made this impression are Leona and Louisa”.

The X Factor finale kicks off this evening at 8pm on TV3, and will also feature performances from the likes of of Little Mix, Fleur East, Leona Lewis, Ben Haenow, Coldplay, and One Direction.

The three acts have revealed which songs they’ll be doing – Reggie “N” Bollie will put together a Spice Girls and Outhere Brothers medley performing a mix of Spice Up Your Life and Boom Boom Boom and finally Kriss Kross’ Jump. Reggie N Bollie acknowledged that they owed everything to their mentor.

Reggie and Bollie teamed up with Craig David and Fuse ODG for a mash-up duet of the former’s hit “Rewind” and the latter’s “Dangerous Love”. And Louisa is already the image of an worldwide pop star.
