A huge/massive/GIGANTIC twist was revealed at the end of last night's The X Factor and it will ruffle a few contestant's feathers, for sure. Oh and give four hopeful's the chance of stardom, record deals and lifelong invitations to fancy-shmancy events.

Professional hugger Dermot O'Leary (which isn't his official title, but it should be) addressed the rumours of a 'Wildcard' vote and confirmed we will find out everything, in tonight's episode.

In the voice of Love Island's Olivia Attwood: 'Interesting! VERY interesting!'

It is thought that the wildcard vote will allow the public to vote for their favourite contestant who originally missed out on the live shows and there will be one spot up for grabs in each category.

This evening's The X Factor show will also reveal the full list of 12 contestants who will definitely be performing in the live shows after a GRUELING Judges Houses . We are honestly glad there is only one week of this round - our emotions could match Taylor Swift's choreography in the Shake It Off video.

Last night, we saw Nicole Scherzinger whittle down the Overs category with a helping hand from grime artist (and all-round legend) Stormzy and the pair decided to keep Kevin Davy White, Tracy Leanna Jefford and Matt Linnen.

We then saw Sharon Osbourne (who was joined by her children Kelly and Jack) deliberate over the Girls category, which was a tough job to say the least.

The Osbournes finally settled on Holly Tandy, Rai-Elle Williams and Grace Davies to put through in Girls category.

Tonight we will see Louis Walsh work with the incredibly iconic Mika (haha) to put the boys category through their paces and Simon Cowell will have a tough job mentoring the groups with Cheryl.

Fingers crossed to finding the next Little Mix.

Britters bites back! Her 2003 pop hit was thought to have been a response to Justin Timberlake's 'Cry Me a River'. Although it's supposedly aimed at her ex boyfriend, it could have been a lot more... er... scathing. Case in point? Lyrics like 'I guess I need you, baby'...

5. Miley Cyrus - 'Wrecking Ball'

The very catchy 'I came in like a WRECKKKKING BALL!" was inspired by Liam Hemsworth, after they called off their engagement in 2014. The pair later kissed and made up and even got married in 2018, but this didn't last long as they announced their split again in September 2019.

Perrie Edwards - 'Shout Out To My Ex'

The Little Mix anthem was directed at ex-One Direction lad Zayn Malik, who Perrie was engaged to, before he apparently dumped her by text. Lines like 'hope she ain't fakin' it like she did, babe!' are thought to be directed at his current flame/supermodel Gigi Hadid. The plot thickens...
