One Direction To Guest On The X Factor Next Weekend

One Direction, Ed Sheeranand Little Mixhave been confirmed to appear on next weekend's The X Factor, which will apparently have a "Best of British" theme.

The 1D boys are to perform their Sheeran-penned track Little Things on the results show next Sunday, while last year's winners Little Mix will perform their new track DNA.

The seven acts remaining in the contest - Rylan Clark, Ella Henderson, Jahmene Douglas, James Arthur, District 3, Union J and Christopher Maloney - will all perform classic British rock and pop songs.

There was more controversy last night after Kye Sones lost to Rylan in the sing-off - leaving Gary Barlow fuming.
