There will be one show per week!

Author: Alex RossPublished 24th Oct 2019

If you cast your minds back to the Autumn months between The X Factor's peak years, you'll probably remember sitting down in front of the TV on both Saturday and Sunday night to see your favourite act perform, whether it was Little Mix, Olly Murs, One Direction or even Wagner!

Well, not only has the original series of The X Factor been scrapped, in favour of both a Celebrity version and an All-Stars version, the famous Sunday night results show has also now been axed.

Ahead of the first live show on The X Factor: Celebrity this weekend, it's being reported that that there will be NO Sunday night show, in an attempt to gain more viewers.

According to the official ITV listings, The X Factor: Celebrity will air on Saturday 26th October, between 8.20-10.10pm, with Celebrity Catchphrase taking the prime Sunday night slot.

Check out which celebs are taking part in The X Factor: Celebrity:

Megan McKenna

Reality star Megan McKenna has ditched her reality roots in recent years to focus on her music career, releasing a country album called 'Story Of Me' in 2018.


Will she impress the judges?

Jenny Ryan

As well as her recent appearance on Celebrity MasterChef, The Chase legend Jenny Ryan showcased her singing talents.

Max and Harvey

British lads Max and Harvey have enjoyed a massive rise in fame thanks to the app musical.ly. Although they've both been performing since they were kids, the duo have now performed to massive crowds across the world.

V5

Social media stars Sofia, Alondra, Laura, Wendii and Natalie have joined forces to create girl group V5.

Kevin McHale

American actor Kevin McHale is no stranger to the music world! Kevin appeared on hit show Glee as Artie Abrams, before landing a music deal with Universal Music Group. Unfortunately, he lost his place on the show in Week 4.

Try Stars

Rugby stars Thom Evans, Ben Foden and Levi Davis have all teamed up to create a Sports Supergroup called Try Stars. Sadly, they left the competition in Week 5 with Vinnie Jones.

Vinnie Jones

After initially pulling out of the show following the tragic death of his wife Tanya in July, Vinnie Jones was invited to the live shows by Simon Cowell, with the former footballer saying, "I'd be honoured, she would love me to do it." Sadly, he left the competition in Week 5 with Try Stars.

Hayley Hasselhoff

David Hasselhoff's 27-year-old daughter Hayley was sent packing after her audition. Hayley failed to impress her mentor Louis Walsh, meaning she didn't make it to the live shows.

Cole and Edwards

Former Strictly dancer Brendan and former Holby City actor Jeremy were also sent home after their initial audition, failing to impress mentor Simon Cowell.

Ricki Lake

Ricki Lake lost her place on the show when she received the lowest votes from the public during the first live show.

Olivia Olson

Despite Simon Cowell telling her she could 'win' the show, Love Actually actress Olivia Olson was sent home during the first live show.

Jonny Labey

Despite getting a 'safe seat' during the first live show, former EastEnders actor Jonny Labey was given the boot in Week Two.

Victoria Ekanoye

After quitting Coronation Street in January this year, soap star Victoria Ekanoye landed a role on Celebrity X Factor, but her time on the show was cut short when she was voted out in the second live show.

No Love Lost

Despite singing some of their original songs on the show, Love Island stars Samira Mighty, Eyal Booker, Zara McDermott and Wes Nelson were given the boot during the third live show.

Martin Bashir

After forgetting his lyrics the week before, the third live show proved the end for broadcasting legend Martin Bashir.

In other Celebrity X Factor news, The Chase star Jenny Ryan has been welcomed back to the show, following backlash after she was eliminated at Simon Cowell's LA mansion last week.

Megan McKenna has also hit back at viewers who said she has an 'unfair advantage', due to the reality star having already released a successful album. She told the Radio Times, "In the past I’ve had a very small independent label help me do an album and I’m so grateful for that but as anybody knows in the music industry, that is down there.

“I’m just the same as everybody else. This is my dream and I’m just hoping that this show can just be the start really as I want to do this full-time."

Vinnie Jones will also join the show on Saturday night, after Simon invited him back after he initially pulled out due to the tragic death of his wife Tanya in July.

The X Factor: Celebrity will air on ITV on Saturday night.
