Dinner with Michael Jackson? Better Eat It!
As you read this, eleven acts are holed up in North London, feverishly preparing to perform on tomorrow's Michael Jackson-themed show.
Each finalist has a different ***** song to perfect, so it looks like the King of Pop's amazing back catalogue has been brushed down and polished up - we're in for a treat!
One performer, however, has perhaps seen more of Michael's moon-walking antics than most - and up close!
In fact, Layla Manoochehri from Girlband has seen MJ at very close quarters. She told us, "I once had dinner with Michael Jackson. It's my claim to fame!"
Layla explained, "It was crazy - I never knew it was going to happen".
"I went to Bahrain to with some friends to watch the motor racing Grand Prix.
"Some of my mates got chatting to a guy who was friends with the Bahrain Royal family.
"So we had dinner at the house of one of the Princes, and Michael Jackson was staying with him. We all sat down for dinner together."
Of course, it's not the easiest thing to take in your stride!
Layla laughed, "I was so shocked I could hardly speak. Now I ask myself, 'Did that really happen'"?
"But I have pictures to prove it - cos I was the loon who went up and said 'Can I have my photo taken with you'"?
We're all jealous, and lot surprisingly lovely bandmate Tita can't believe Layla's luck either!
She wibbled, "I am the biggest Michael Jackson fan ever, and when she tells the story all I can think is, 'It's not fair, why couldn't I be there'"?
