Bosses have axed the Sunday night results show for The X Factor: Celebrity
There will be one show per week!
Last updated 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.
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:

Will she impress the judges?

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.

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.
