Jingle your bells and deck your halls, because while it might only be December 3, it's never too early for Christmas Week on The X Factor.

Yep, the top four - 5 After Midnight, Emily Middlemas, Matt Terry and Saara Aalto - will all be singing a festive classic and another track in an attempt to get to that all-important final next week. But who'll be on Santa Simon's nice list and who'll stumble onto Scrooge Louis' naughty list after hitting the sherry a little too hard?

We're about to find out, so join us as we bring you all the action when the show begins at 8pm on ITV...

Joe Anderton is a freelance news writer and resident Welsh person at Digital Spy, having worked there since 2016. 

In his time he's covered a host of live events, interviewed celebrities big and small and crowbarred a countless amount of great/awful (delete as appropriate) puns into articles. 

A big fan of TV and movies both mainstream and obscure, Joe's main interest is in video gaming. Although particularly a PlayStation gamer, he plays across Xbox, Nintendo and PC/Steam Deck, and likes to keep tabs on many games he's not got the time to play.

Joe currently does not use Twitter, but he only ever used it to tell people to watch the film Help! I'm a Fish (which you really should do).
