more The X Factor Final (Sat, 8pm, and Sun, 7.40pm, ITV1)The remaining three battle it out over two nights, with the final coming from Manchester for the first time. Scouser Christopher Maloney is the outsider, but we’re sure we’ll be seeing more of him in musicals. It’s very hard to predict who’ll come out on top between multi-talented rapper/singer/guitarist/whatever James Arthur and Jahmene Douglas, who seems musically the better suited to the Simon Cowell treatment. Look out for duets with their mentors, and rumoured guest appearances from some or all of One Direction, Emeli Sande, Kylie Minogue and Rihanna, Only Boys Aloud and Kelly Clarkson. Also this week, a series of clip shows about the highlights and lowlights of ‘The X Factor’ over the years starts with:
The Xtra Factor: Girls Best And Worst Ever (Mon, 8pm, ITV2) and then it’s
Boys on Tuesday and the
Overs category on Wednesday at the same times as we look at auditions to remember and forget.
The Xtra Factor: Judges Best And Worst Ever (Fri, 7pm, ITV2) looks at the bust-ups between Simon and company.
