The ‘X Factor’ will lose another two contestants this weekend.
The ITV show has announced that its remaining seven contestants will be whittled down to just five in a double elimination.
The act with the least public votes will leave tonight (22.11.14) with a sing-off on Sunday (23.11.14), where another act will leave.
Simon Cowell is the only judge guaranteed to have at least one act remaining, following this weekend’s double cut.
The 55-year-old media mogul still has three acts in the competition – Ben Haenow, Fleur East and Stevi Ritchie – whilst both Mel B and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini each have just one act remaining, Andrea Faustini and Lauren Platt respectively.
Louis Walsh has two groups left in the competition – eight-piece boy band, Stereo Kicks, and Only The Young.
The remaining seven contestants will sing Whitney Houston or Elton John tracks in a bid to secure their place in next week’s show.
This is the show’s second double elimination, following on from the Halloween-themed Fright Night earlier this month, which saw Jack Walton and Lola Saunders leave the competition.
Meanwhile, Stevi – who survived the sing-off last Sunday (16.11.14) against Jay James – thinks it’s his time to leave the talent competition.
He recently said: "Whether it’s Saturday or Sunday, I’ll be one of the ones that goes this weekend."
