In what was a world premier, the remaining ten acts were joined by members of Girlband and Bad Lashes to perform the single that everybody hopes will be going straight to Number One.

During the results show, the finalists put all their rivalries to one side and took to the stage as a unit, a group of people with the power and opportunity to do something for the greater good. And when they all began to sing the Mariah Carey classic, Hero, in perfect harmony - it was obvious something special was happening.

Proceeds from the record will be divided equally between Help for Heroes – a charity that provides support for wounded servicemen and women, and the Poppy Appeal.

Co-founder of Help For Heroes Bryn Parry says: “Everyone at Help For Heroes is thrilled to hear that The X Factor is supporting our boys and girls. We hope the public will do their bit to make this a hit single and demonstrate that we really care”.

So go on, make a difference. Order or download the single now.
