The X Factor: season 15, final recap: "Lastly, thanks to Just Eat"

TV Feature | Matthew Horton | 4th December 2018

All good things must come to an end. Complacent, repetitive, nowhere near as vital as they used to be things must come to an end as well. And the TV shows they recap. Sorry, this could go on forever. Speaking of which – it's the X Factor Final!

The X Factor: season 15, semi-final recap: "It's the same old song"

TV Feature | Matthew Horton | 26th November 2018

As Benjamin Franklin once said, there are only three things that are certain in life: death, taxes and pre-GCSE hip-hop sensations Acacia & Aaliyah singing Skepta's Shutdown if The X Factor happens to be on. Look it up. When he wasn't flying kites or finding nations, that guy couldn't half predict a teen grime duo. Sorry, what's that? Franklin my Benjamins, it's only the X Factor semi-final!

The X Factor: season 15, 5th live show recap: "Rules? I AM the rules!"

TV Feature | Matthew Horton | 19th November 2018

It's Big Band Week! You know Big Band Week. It's when the finalists sing any song they like, in any style they fancy, just as long as there's a big band somewhere in the room, playing or otherwise.

The X Factor: season 15, 3rd live show recap: "DALEKGATE"

TV Feature | Matthew Horton | 5th November 2018

The X Factor: season 15, 2nd live show recap: "Guilty! Pleasure?"

TV Feature | Matthew Horton | 29th October 2018

We've just remembered The X Factor's still going, so let's get back on board with Britain's second favourite talent show featuring Simon Cowell. There's a lot to catch up on. Robbie Williams has found himself a wife, Louis Walsh has been replaced by a whole new Louis and it's all on telly at about midnight so it doesn't get embarrassed by Strictly. It's time! To face!
