According to today's Sun, Andrew Lloyd Webber says X Factor's Rhydian Roberts is unlikely to be his new Phantom Of The Opera.

X Factor runner-up, Rhydian Roberts, has finally got his date with Simon Cowell's make-up artist, Julia Carta, who is 12 years older than him.

The X Factor smashed its audience record on Saturday evening during this year's final.

Leon's victory over Rhydian Roberts opens up a new battle for Simon Cowell.

The second show of the evening - firstly it was time to decide who the viewers had voted into third place – this, surprisingly, turned out to be Same Difference.

The songs for this year's X Factor final have been revealed:

The rumours were true - Welsh mezzo-soprano Katherine Jenkins will duet with Rhydian Roberts in one of the songs in this Saturday's X Factor final.

After a performance from this week's guest, Michael Bublé, it was down to the serious business of the night after a pretty poor semi-final.

Tonight the contestants were fighting for a place in the final and with none of them having been in the bottom two before it was anybody's game.

We are now down to five acts all battling for a place in the semi-final.
