One of the best performances to come out of the X Factor final surprisingly wasn’t by the contestants.

Fleur East and Little Mix teamed up for a mash-up of Black Magic and Sax, and they pretty much blew the roof off.

Move over McBusted, there’s a new supergroup in town.

The finalists gave incredible performances, with Che duetting with Rod Stewart, Louisa Johnson singing with her mentor Rita Ora, and Reggie N Bollie having not one, but two guests in the form of Craig David and Fuse ODG.

But unfortunately for them it was Fleur East and Little Mix’s duet that seemed to steal the show.

Was it actually the best performance of the night?

Best performance on the #XFactor was @LittleMix and @FleurEast 💖 loved it!💕👌🏻🙌🏻 #XFactorFinal #LittleMixOnXFactorFinal

Ben Haenow returned to The X Factor on Saturday night, a year after he was crowned winner on the show.

He took to the stage to perform with Leona Lewis, who won back in 2006, and their duet featured Slamming Doors and her version of Snow Patrol’s Run.

However, Ben is going to be cringing when he watches back his performance as he managed to produce the worst singing note, possibly ever by a professional singer.

Craig David pressed rewind when he returned to the stage for The X Factor final.

The singer made an epic comeback last night on the show where he performed a duet with finalists Reggie N Bollie.

The trio teamed up for David’s classic hit song Re-Rewind, the track Craig originally performed with garage act Artful Dodger.

After the performance, an excited Reggie said: ‘Can you imagine Reggie N Bollie performing alongside Fuse ODG and Craig David?!’

David then posted this excited message on Twitter:

Netflix might be known for commissioning great series like Marvel’s Jessica Jones, House Of Cards and Narcos.

But this Christmas there is only one series that is going to fill your screen with warmth, and that’s Fireplace For Your Home.

That’s right, it’s a series dedicated to providing the crackling image of a log fire that can give your home a traditional festive feel, through your TV computer and other Netflix-enabled devices.

And what says Christmas more than a fake fire coming through a laptop screen?

A fake fire coming through a laptop screen AND festive music. Tune into episode one for that.

Don’t tell Kim Kardashian and Kanye West but it turns out that not everyone knows who Saint West is.

That was proven last week when Kirsten Dunst made a guest appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon along with Will Smith.

During the show they played a game of Catchphrase where they had to describe a phrase on a card without saying the actual phrase for their teammate to guess, but when ‘Saint West’ popped up during the Fargo star’s turn, she had no idea what she was reading.

‘Um…,’ she started.

‘Um…,’ she continued. ‘What is that?’

It’s Kimye’s second child, Kirsten love.

When you invite EastEnders legend Danny Dyer onto a chat show, you have to expect a little bit of controversy.

The outspoken actor, who plays Mick Carter in the soap, is one of Alan Carr’s guests for his Chatty Man New Year Spectacular, which was filmed last week. But, given that it is a show that offers its guests free access to an array of booze during filming, things may have gotten a little out of hand.

According to The Sun, Carr struggled to keep Dyer in control as the star appeared worse for wear. One member of the audience told… Read the full story

American Horror Story star Rose Siggins has died at the age of 43.

The actress – who played Legless Suzi in Freak Show – passed away at a hospital in Denver on Saturday, after contracting an infection following kidney stone surgery, according to TMZ.

Her co-stars have rallied on Twitter to pay tribute to the late actress as well as ask fans of the show to donate money to help her two children.

Sarah Paulson, Denis O’Hare and Gabourey Sidibe led the support for her children:

The AHS family lost one of our own… Rose Siggins was an absolute light… I will never forget your laugh or your beautiful eyes.

Please consider helping to support her family at this difficult time. Two more spectacular children never existed. Read the full story

Jay McGuiness is clearly foxtrotting his way into the Strictly Come Dancing final but the question on everyone’s lips on Saturday’s show was did he, or did he not, drop his partner?

Jay and Aliona Vilani were performing an energetic Charleston with a Doctor Who theme when Jay threw Aliona over his shoulder and into a cartwheel pose only for her to fall to the floor instead of being placed down by Jay.

Later as the judges critiqued the pair, they didn’t seem to know if it was a style choice or an accident that led to Aliona’s ungraceful bump – after all the Charleston is known to be messy and fun – while Jay and Aliona insisted it was part of the routine.

There could be a shake-up ahead on Strictly Come Dancing as it has been reported that two judges are getting set to quit the popular ballroom competition. 

Bruno Tonioli, who has been on the show since it began all the way back in 2004, is said to have threatened to leave if fellow judge Craig Revel Horwood returns for the next series.

A source told the Sun: ‘Bruno is at the end of his tether, with Craig in particular. Last week Bruno came off set saying if Craig is back next year, he won’t be.’

And Darcey Bussell was also said to be unhappy… Read the full story

Forget the three finalists.

The big news of the night was that the X Factor 2015 final began with discharged judge and show stalwart Louis Walsh recreating the John Lewis ad and waving at the show from the moon.

What could it all mean?

Sadly it was probably the most interesting thing that happened in the rather lacklustre Wembley final – which featured the three usual celebrity hook ups and performances by show alumni Ben Haenow, Leona Lewis, Little Mix and Fleur East.

But of of the three remaining finalists only two… Read the full story

Ever since they started working together four years ago on the Xtra Factor, rumours of a romance have plagued Olly Murs and Caroline Flack – and their chemistry continues to sizzle on the main show.

Many fans desperately want the pair to get together and Caroline has admitted that they very nearly did in the early days.

Speaking to the Sun on Sunday, she revealed: ‘There was a time where we nearly did have sex. It happened at the first Judges Houses, four years ago. We had a lot of fun after filming and Olly was like, “I’ll come see you in your room” and I thought, “Oh my God, is… Read the full story

Louis Walsh made a surprise cameo during The X Factor final which had everyone laughing.

The former judge, who served on the panel for 11 years, made a blink-and-you-might-miss-it appearance at the beginning of last night’s show.

Walsh showed he wasn’t bitter at all about his departure by sending up this year’s John Lewis Man on the Moon Christmas advert.

The music manager was seen banished to the moon, all alone, and gazing wistfully – using a telescope, of course – back at Earth, or Wembley Arena in London to be exact as that’s where the first part of this weekend’s finale was taking place.

Talent show judges are all very well, but let’s be honest, children are often the best critics of all.

Which is why, when I went to the first half of The X Factor 2015 final, with my nine-year-old daughter Emily Bunder and her ten-year-old friend Shanai Carter in tow, I decided to let them cast their verdict over the show instead.

Because they had some pretty strong views about it all…

Dad dancing is bad enough at the best of times, but it’s especially embarrassing when it occurs during one of the biggest moments of your career.

And boxer Chris Eubank Jr knows that only too well – after his famous dad decided to bust a few moves during the weigh in for tonight’s fight against Spike O’Sullivan.

Fresh from the jungle after his I’m A Celeb stint, Chris could be seen busting a few moves as a bemused crowd watched on.

It’s not quite clear why he opted for the bizarre display, but Chris looks like he’s enjoying it.

Poor Olly Murs and Caroline Flack. 

In a series of X Factor that has been beset by unfortunate gaffes, they always seem to be the ones to get the blame. But when a technical glitch sees the wrong VT played, they can’t surely be held to account by the critical viewers, can they?

Saturday Night Live was hosted by Chris Hemsworth this weekend, but it was this Star Wars sketch that really had the audiences in stitches.

The comedy sketch show perfectly summed up life for adult collectors of Star Wars toys with a parody commercial for the new film Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Rather than just typically have children playing with the figurines and waxing lyrical about the merchandise, SNL added Kyle Mooney, Bobby Moynihan and Taran Killam to the geeky mix.

Because these toys are meant for ages six and up, and these guys are the ‘way up.’

WARNING: This article contains spoilers from the final episode of American Horror Story: Hotel

The finale of American Horror Story: Hotel is fast approaching, and it will feature yet another character from the first season, Murder House.

So far we’ve had realtor, Marcy, who made a rather sticky end in episode seven, as well as the crazed doctor who lived in the ‘murder house’ and performed illegal abortions from his basement. He popped up in episode six to deliver Lady Gaga’s The Countess’s beastly baby Bartholomew.

But according to Entertainment Weekly, psychic Billie Dean Howard is expected to appear in the finale – as the star in a reality show about her psychic… Read the full story

Former wrestler Hulk Hogan has fallen victim to a Twitter prank which saw him sympathetically respond to a user who claimed that his sister was ill with HIV.

The Twitter user attached a picture of X Factor judge Cheryl Fernandez-Versini alongisde his claim, who, of course, definitely does not have the illness and nor does she have a connection to the tweeter.

The sporting legend is unlikely to have recognised Cheryl, given that he is based in the US, and after responding to the original tweet, it’s no surprise Hulk had no idea what he had done wrong when another Twitter user pointed out his error.
