The X Factor Final

ITV, 7.30pm, today

For some viewers, The X Factor wasn’t just a singing competition –itwasacountdownto Christmas.

But following last year’s slightly truncated run, the show is once again wrapping up at the very beginning of December. Luckily, that doesn’t mean the finale is going to be any less spectacular, as the remaining acts take to the stage once more to impress judges Simon Cowell, Louis Tomlinson, Ayda Williams and Robbie Williams.
