X Factor Big Band week songs revealed
The remaining eight contestants take to the stage to belt out some classics in a bid to make the semi-finals
It's Big Band week on The X Factor – a chance for the remaining acts to showcase their stage presence when accompanied by (you guessed it) by a 30-piece orchestra.
With the X Factor final just two weeks away, Simon Cowell's Girls, Louis Tomlinson's Boys, Ayda Williams' Overs and husband Robbie's Groups – who for a second week running will be overseen by Nile Rodgers – will belt out some of music's biggest numbers in a bid to survive another week.
- Who’s out of The X Factor 2018? The full list of eliminated contestants
- Nile Rodgers to replace Robbie Williams on The X Factor 2018 live shows
- X Factor past winners: where are they now?
With another two acts due to be eliminated from the remaining eight – and several contestants reportedly suffering from flu – the stakes are high. Could Robbie or Ayda lose their final remaining acts...?
