What about Matt singing Killer Queen by Queen, or Katie singing Murder on the Dancefloor by Sophie Ellis Bextor? One Direction could sing Another One Bites The Dust by Queen.

LIAM Payne has thrown One Direction's next X Factor performance into chaos - after hurting his ankle at a Tinie Tempah gig.

The 16-year-old singer sprained his ankle after tripping over some stairs and an amplifier while meeting the rapper on stage at Koko in Camden, London.

He had joined other X Factor hopefuls to attend the gig last night.

He was snapped limping out of the club with the support of two X Factor aides and had to see doctors after his foot swelled up.

Liam told Twitter fans today: "What a doofus! Fell over on stage in front of tinie tempah.... so uncool. Lol."

But his sprain is no laughing matter for Simon Cowell's boyband - as it means it's unlikely he'll be able to dance during Saturday's live show.

The lads were meant to rehearse their routine today but Liam has been ordered to rest his foot, putting their practise at risk.

If his ankle doesn't improve the group face having to change their song at the last minute to a less energetic number.

Cher Lloyd was also at Tinie's gig last night after TV Biz told how the rapper's producer Labrinth said he wants to work with her.

She wore some red lippy, gold chains, a white netted vest and blue jacket to meet the chart topper.

Meanwhile, the 17-year-old hopeful - who has previously described herself as a "little, scared girl" - admitted that she goes into "panic attack mode" before performing on X Factor.

She said: "To control my nerves I go into a little panic attack mode. I shut myself off from everybody and then I take a deep breath.

"Every time before I go on stage, I always think I can't do it, and that I'm too nervous to do it, but as soon as the music starts a little switch turns on and I'm ready for it."

Cher is intending to wow fans with a ballad on Saturday's show and says she'll ditch her "bad girl rapping".

X Factor contestant Mary Byrne has promised to show "more variety" in her upcoming performances.

The Tesco checkout worker was criticised last weekend for having three similar performances in the opening trio of live shows and Simon Cowell called on her mentor Louis Walsh to show more imagination in his song choices for her.

Dannii Minogue added: "Please sing a new song, a current song, because I think people young and old love you. If you could throw in some new songs, that would be fantastic."

Speaking in her latest video blog, the Irish singer said that she had taken the constructive criticism onboard and that she was hoping to showcase a different style this weekend.

"I hope I can change and do something different this week coming," she said. "It's a little different to what I normally do and fingers crossed you'll enjoy it.

"There's been a bit of criticism that I need to do something a bit more modern, we are all going to try I hope to do something a little different that sounds a little different. We want to show the variety of things I could do."

The X Factor airs on Saturday at 8pm on ITV1.

Shayne Ward has confirmed that he will return to The X Factor to perform his new single.

The singer won the ITV competition in 2005 and has since released two albums and had four UK top ten hits.

The Sun reports that the 26-year-old will perform his new single 'Gotta Be Somebody' on the November 7 results show - which will also reportedly feature Kylie Minogue.

"It's such an honour to be invited on," Ward said. "I've been working really hard on my new stuff so I really hope people like it. It will be great to get back on the X Factor stage."

A source told the paper that the singer "couldn't believe his luck" when he found out that Minogue would also be performing.

They said: "He's been off the radar for ages and now he's got one of the biggest gigs in town. It's a big favour for Simon to give him the chance as he could easily secure an A-list name to appear."

Ward releases his new LP Obsession on November 15.

I love that song Cher is singing. I was thinking earlier she'd better not murder it, but then again may be she can so she can be booted off. It's time she ditched the one trick pony rap style.
