Next week's X Factor live show will have a Halloween theme, it has been confirmed.

Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh revealed the news on The Xtra Factor during a Q&A session with Konnie Huq.

Teasing his rival Cheryl Cole, Cowell joked: "It's a Halloween theme next week. So we chose this category especially for Cheryl."

Later, Walsh added: "I'm going to change things for the next few weeks with Mary [Byrne]. The theme is Halloween and I've got a few ideas for songs."

Earlier this evening, John Adeleye exited the competition after losing a sing-off with Treyc Cohen by three judges' votes to one.

The X Factor continues next Saturday at 8pm on ITV1.

John Adeleye has become the fifth act to be eliminated from The X Factor.

Louis Walsh's hopeful found himself in the bottom two alongside Treyc Cohen after failing to impress viewers with his performance of 'Zoom' by Fat Larry's Band on last night's show.

Adeleye then did battle against Cohen in a final showdown, where he appeared to struggle with his chosen survival song, 'Because Of You' by Kelly Clarkson.

Following the performances, Walsh argued that Adeleye could "grow and grow" through the competition before backing his own act and voting out Treyc Cohen.

Danni Minogue was less sure of her decision, first praising Adeleye for "know[ing] what kind of artist you are", before accepting that Cohen gave a better performance of her survival song, 'One Night Only' by Jennifer Hudson, and voting to keep her safe.

Cole also stuck by her own act, voting out Adeleye while commenting that he didn't deserve to be in the bottom two.

With the deciding vote, Cowell stated that Adeleye had failed to live up to his initial promise and suggested that he hadn't "been looked after properly" by his mentor, finally giving his support to Cohen on the strength of her sing-off performance.

His fate decided, Adeleye told O'Leary that he would get busy writing his own material, while Walsh urged for somebody to offer his former act a record deal.

The X Factor continues next Saturday at 8pm on ITV1.

I felt sorry for John last night. I think he's a nice guy, but unfortuately nice people don't succeed in the music business. So next week is Halloween Theme. Is this when Jedward will appear? Why did Louis say Mary won't win, on the Xtra Factor? He can't be doing his job as a mentor then. And IMO Belle Amie need to reduce their egos - they think they know more than Cowell about music. I didn't enjoy Cheryl's performance. She was supposed to sing live but only sang the last few words live in the end. I only like the bit that goes "alu eta eta alu eta eta ..... aller" or whatever

The cast of Glee will perform a medley of hits on an upcoming X Factor results show, according to a report.

The People claims that Simon Cowell is working out the finer details of a proposed appearance with the show's production team.

Cowell allegedly told the 'paper: "There are slight teething problems. Both X Factor and Glee's production teams want to be in charge of the set. Glee doesn't want [us] in charge - their brand is too strong to allow someone else to make decisions."

The musical comedy is currently airing its second season in the US and will return to UK screens in January on E4.
