X Factor Winner To Join Beyonce On Tour

The winner of this year's The X Factor is set to get a big boost to their career by joining Beyoncé on tour.

Whoever triumphs on this weekend's show - Sam Bailey, Luke Friend or Nicholas McDonald - will support the Run The World singer for the UK leg of her world tour.

According to Digital Spy, the news was confirmed by XF executive producer Mark Sidaway, who wrote on Twitter: "We just supersized our prize. Winner also gets to join Beyoncé in the UK leg of her world tour."

As part of her Mrs Carter Show World Tour, Bey will play 10 concerts in Britain throughout February and March next year, in cities that include London, Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and Dublin.

Earlier this week Beyoncé surprised fans by releasing her fifth album online, with each song accompanied by its own video.

The visual album sold more than 80,000 copies in just three hours in the US.
