With the Toy Show on tonight it means Christmas is officially up and running - and The X Factor joins in the fun on Saturday night with the show's semi-final.

Producers have announced which yuletide classics the remaining four acts will be covering, and of course Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas is You is in there.

Saara Aalto will be tackling the Carey classic, while 5 After Midnight will be getting their tinselled tonsils around East 17's Stay Another Day.

Elsewhere, bookies favourite Matt Terry's taking the very traditional route with a performance of Silent Night, and Emily Middlemas is giving John Lennon a go with Happy Christmas, War Is Over.

But the Christmas feeling will evaporate quickly on Sunday's result show as one act will go home ahead of next weekend's final.

A big bonus on Sunday's results show will be the feature guest performances from the one and only Lady Gaga and Zara Larsson.

This year's X Factor final will take place next weekend over two nights and there's rumours aplenty that nothing is being left to chance with Ed Sheeran apparently being roped in to write the winner's single.

Last year's show featured the likes of Adele and One Direction, so expect plenty of big star names to appear on both nights.

The X Factor, Saturday & Sunday, TV3 at 8.00pm
