After last night’s emosh X-it of four contestants, how are the remaining acts coping? We report all the latest goss from the house.
They sung their hearts out on Saturday and anxiously lived through their first elimination process on Sunday.
Now safely back at The X Factor house, how are our remaining finalists feeling?
Check back here throughout the day for all the latest backstage news, straight from the finalist mansion.
10.17 am
After an exhausting weekend spent rehearsing, singing for their survival on the show and waving goodbye to four of their fellow contestants, our finalists are understandably pooped.
Chilling at the house, a few of the girls are still lounging around in their PJs. Nu Vibe’s Stefan says: “I was so exhausted last night when we got back to the house, I just passed out. I didn’t have the energy to party.”
11.45 am
Kitty is experimenting with some wacky wigs. Switching between a super long, green hairpiece and some blonde locks, she tells us her top trick for living with hair extensions. “In the morning when I have breakfast I always wear a short bobbed wig, so the long hairs don’t get into my food.”
12.22 pm
Johnny is still rocking his sparkly nails from the Live Show. He likes them so much, he says he will keep the nail varnish on until it peels off.
1.10pm
We bump into the lovely James Michael at the house, who is putting on a brave face following his exit from the show last night. “The X Factor has been an amazing experience for me, and I’m going to treat it as a platform that will lead to other things,” he tells us. Good luck, James!
3.10pm
2 Shoes are packing their bags to head back to the home county - and they reveal the first thing they will do back in Essex is to get a spray tan!
Charley also reveals that they won't tone down the Shoes' signature look. "Of course I'd wear big falsies like on the show to go to the shops - you never know who you bump into in Primark!"
4.25pm
As of today, our X Factor finalists have got their very own chef to spoil them with delicious dishes at the house. Andy Goodyear tells us he is there to cook the contestants some "proper good food". What's for supper? Braised pork and chicken, with lots of veggies and potatoes. Yum!
