The X Factor judges have spoken and have decided to ditch next week's disco theme for next week's live shows.

Following an emergency meeting with producers, Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Mel B and Louis Walsh now switched next week's theme to Queen Vs. Michael Jackson.

SiCo and Walsh confirmed during last night's Xtra Factor that the theme would be disco, but just hours later, producer Mark Sidaway took to Twitter to confirm it had changed.
