Olly Murs has confirmed that he’ll be performing on next week’s* X Factor.*

The show’s presenter has some making up to do after his big ol’ gaffe from last week’s results show. Olly got muddled on Sunday night, and just before the end of the programme, he turned to sing-off acts Monica Michael and Anton Stephans to tell them what the judges had decided.

As Nick Grimshaw and Simon Cowell both chose to keep Anton, and Rita Ora and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini opted for Monica, the decision was taken to Dead Lock – but Olly pre-empted the public’s vote by telling Monica that unfortunately, she was being sent home.

Olly’s co-host Caroline Flack leaped into action, shouting, “No Olly she’s not! We’re going to Dead Lock!” as he started to imagine getting fired and making his way back to the Essex call centre.

“Sorry, I got that wrong,” he immediately replied, “Sorry, I apologise for that, Monica, I do apologise.”

Anyhoo, he’s putting all that behind him by performing his new single, Kiss Me, on the ITV show.

He’s posted a GIF on Twitter of him on* The X Factor* back in the day, and captioned it: “So next weekend I'll be back on @TheXFactor singing NEW single KISS ME □□ 2009 was the 1st time.... Crazyyyyyy!!!”

But, as usual, his buddy Caroline was quick to have a dig, joking: “Don’t forget your words.”

Harsh. But fair…
