This weeks X Factor theme will be Queen Week. A strange choice considering Rock Week was just two weeks ago and given that the celebrity guest this Sunday will be Shakira, surely a latin theme would be more appropriate? However the sources suggest that John and Edward Grimes will be singing Radio Gaga and that does seem like the big production number which Louis would assign to them.

A show source told The Sun: “Simon made the decision late on Sunday night to go with something more theatrical.

“He loves Queen and knows that the wannabes will recognize at least one of their hit songs.

“He wants bigger entrances and bigger performances from all of them.

“It doesn’t get much bigger than pretending to be Queen’s late singer Freddie Mercury.”

Of course Simon Cowell could be accused of favouritism by choosing this theme. It suits his acts much more than any others.

One source said: “This change of plan has come as no surprise to many of us as this benefits Simon’s acts.

“Jamie will be brilliant singing a Queen song, as will Danyl.

“But it might prove difficult for Stacey Solomon or Lloyd Daniels.

“I’m sure the twins will have no problem with it.”

What Queen songs would you choose for the contestants? Surely Danyl Johnson has got to sing Bohemian Rhapsody?
