Simon Cowell has confirmed that this year’s X Factor winner’s single will be in aid of a children’s charity called Together for Short Lives.

That means 100 per cent of the profits, which tots up to £1 for a CD single and 20p for a digital download, will go to the charity, which works with hospices and the families of ill children across the UK.

It’s just a couple of weeks until the X Factor final, and the hopefuls have been whittled down to Ben Haenow, Fleur East, Andrea Faustini and Lauren Platt, so expect the winning single to be from one of these guys.

Thanks be that it wasn’t Stevi Ritchie crooning for charity, hey?

With the X Factor final on 14 December, we’ll hear the winner’s single straight away at the end of the show (complete with the obligatory glitter explosion that means Simon Cowell gets glitter down his cleavage and stuck in his nose – hohoho!)

We won’t know what the single us until the 14 December, but it’s sure to be a tearjerker, and it’ll be available for download straight after the final. Get digging deep, guys. Like Simon, to unwedge the mound of glitter between his boobies.

Take a look at this gallery, just because...
