Their first song choices have been revealed, and the line-up includes hits from Whitney Houston, Ed Sheeran and Ariana Grande.

Simon Cowell, Nick Grimshaw, Rita Ora and Cheryl Fernandez-Versing will put their categories against each other in an attempt to avoid the dreaded first public vote.

It’s been reported that things will be done a bit differently this year, after a snap of group Alien Uncovered in rehearsals emerged.

On the screen behind them was written ‘Vocal Score’ and ‘Performance Score’, suggesting that this year the acts will be judged on everything.

Here’s what they’ll be singing tonight:

Simon Cowell’s over 25s
