X Factor has announced a twist that will shake up the live shows.

Song themes for the series will be determined by an onstage, mechanical jukebox as each week.

Host Dermot O’Leary will be joined by a special guest every Sunday after a contestant has been booted off.

They will spin the jukebox wheel to reveal the following week’s theme which could be Oscars, Boy Band vs Girl Band, Disco, Motown, 80’s, Divas and Louis Loves (the Louis Walsh collection).

The first these is ‘Express Yourself’ and will invite the 12 contestants to perform a song that showcases who they are as artists.

Overs judge Honey G will be hoping to keep Relley C, Saara Aalto and Honey G in the competition despite a petition calling for the ‘North Weezy’ rapper to be kicked out of the show.

Nicole Scherzinger will kick off the series with Matt Terry, Freddy Parker, Ryan Lawrie while Simon Cowell will be hoping to win over the viewers with his girls, Emily Middlemas, Sam Lavery and Gifty Louise.
