One Direction may be the band of the moment, but JLS still have their fair share of young female fans and Marvin Humes has confessed that he always feels bad, when he sees how many faint and take ill at their concerts.
Unreality TV have been along to a number of JLS gigs over the past few years and can confirm, that the screams of the mostly young teenage fans are deafening and the desperation of the girls to reach their idols, overwhelming.
Paramedics are always on hand to deal with the amount of young ladies who pass out at the band’s concerts and in a new BBC2 documentary ‘I’m In A Boy Band’, Marvin has confessed that he finds the scenes hard to deal with.

We thought Zayn Malik was nursing a broken heart after splitting from Little Mix’s Perrie Edwards and Harry Styles only had eyes for Xtra Factor presenter Caroline Flack, however maybe we got the wrong end of the stick.
The young One Direction hunks were spotted out on the town with JLS star Aston Merrygold this week and judging by reports, the lads were certainly working the crowd.

Well the X Factor final aired last night or the first part of it anyway….which surely makes it the X Factor semi final, but that’s not what ITV are calling it….anyway! As well as the three final acts – Marcus Collins, Amelia Lily and Little Mix – returning to the stage to sing for survival, we were also treated to performances by Michael Buble – it was rather average – Leona Lewis – we liked it but many Johnny Cash fans did not – and a funky mashup courtesy of JLS and One Direction.
The X Factor mentors also got involved in a way that panelists never have before and Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contosatvlos and Kelly Rowland each took to the stage and sang with their last remaining act.

Aston Merrygold was a smug looking buger on tonight’s Xtra Factor show.
The JLS singer admitted on the ITV2 spinoff that he was feeling quite chuffed with himself, because he had predicted that Marcus Collins and Little Mix would be in the X Factor final in week one.

Two of the hunkiest – and also the most successful – boybands to ever graduate from The X Factor returned tonight and pulled together to perform quite an interesting little mashup.
One Direction and JLS joined forces and mixed two of their biggest hit singles – What Makes You Beautiful and She Makes Me Wanna – for this evening’s X Factor final, much to the delight of the 10,000 audience members in Wembley Arena.

Some details of the lineup of tonight’s first part of the X Factor final have been revealed and it has been confirmed that Leona Lewis, Michael Buble, One Direction and JLS will all take to the stage this evening.
While bosses have saved appearances by Coldplay and Westlife for tomorrow night’s live show, this evening Leona Lewis and Michael Buble will deliver solo performances in between the contestants’ efforts, while – as previously reported – JLS and One Direction will team up for a duet of two of their biggest hit singles.

This weekend’s X Factor final shows will be chock full of treats and we have just learned that one of them will be a collaboration of complete boyband goodness!
Former contestants JLS and One Direction – possibly two of the most successful musical acts to ever emerge from the ITV show – will join forces and instead of performing with one of the finalists as celebrities have done in previous years, they will duet with each other.

ITV have confirmed that British rockers Coldplay will be performing on the X Factor final next week.
The ‘Fix You’ hitmakers – consisting of Chris Martin, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion – had previously claimed that they would never appear on the ITV show but must have changed their mind, as it has been reported that they will duet with one of the three finalists on next Sunday’s show.
The grand finale will be staged in Wembley Arena and also in the linup are former show winner Leona Lewis, former runners up JLS and One Direction, along with Canadian crooner Michael Bublé.

The boys of JLS and One Direction joined the X Factor finalists last month, to film the music video for their charity single ‘Wishing On A Star.
In the film below you can get a sneak peek at behind the scenes of the shoot but beware, the combined hotness of all those hunky boys may be enough to send you into a fit of palpitations!
