It's been another eventful week for the X Factor hopefuls.

We've had more relationship rumours as Gifty Louise and Jordan Lee from 5 After Midnight are said to be getting close in the house.

AND we were also hit with the news that Brooks Way had been permanently axed from the show and replaced by girl group Four Of Diamonds. Finally, Louis has some females in his category.

This week it's Motown Week and the contestants' song choices have got us VERY excited for what's in store on Saturday.

Let's start with the groups and the newest act Four of Diamonds.

X Factor

They'll be taking on You Keep Me Hangin' On by The Supremes.

5 After Midnight will be singing a mash up of Get Ready by The Tempations and Reach Out, I'll Be There originally recorded by Four Tops.

Freddy Parker will be singing Marvin Gaye's Ain't No Mountain High Enough.

Matt Terry will be taking on I Heard It Through The Grapevine, also by Marvin Gaye.

Ryan Lawrie will sing Superstition by Stevie Wonder.

Honey G (or should we say David Cameron, if the rumours are true) will be singing No Money No Problems. WE CAN'T WAIT.

X Factor

Saara Aalto will tackle River Deep, Mountain High by Ike and Tina Turner.

Relley C will be performing Ain't No Sunshine

Emily Middlemas will be singing Stop In The Name Of Love (we'd like to think she's practised by singing this to her beau and fellow contestant Ryan).

Gifty Louise will sing Rockin’ Robin.

And Sam Lavery will be belting out Hello.

We think it might be the absolute tuuuune by Adele, but we're not convinced how Motown Adele is. Luckily Sam is in Simon Cowell's category and he can pretty much just make up the rules as he goes along.

The X Factor returns Saturday night, 8:00 pm on ITV.
