Simon Cowell tonight challenged Girls Aloud to sing live on next weeks X Factor show.

Simon was annoyed after reading stories in the media that Girls Aloud members had commented in an interview that there was no talent in this years X Factor show. After hearing Maria Lawson’s excellent performance of ‘Beautiful’ by James Blunt, Simon issued the challenge to the girl group much to the horror of the bands manager and fellow judge Louis Walsh.

Will they take him up on his offer….lets wait and see!!
