Well that's one way to be remembered! Amelia flashes her knickers while Sophie's chest is on show at X Factor wrap party

It may have been Little Mix who walked away with The X Factor crown, but that's not stopping the other contestants fighting to prolong their 15 minutes of fame.

The undignified bunch turned up to celebrate the end of the series at the season wrap party in London on Tuesday night.

And it was Amelia Lily and Sophie Habibis who left a lasting impression as they flashed their flesh and underwear for all to see.

Baring all: Amelia Lily and Sophie Habibis gave a bit too much of an eyeful at the end of season bash

 

'Comeback Kid' Amelia forgot to match her knickers to her hair when she accidentally revealed a bit too much at the bash.

Walking along with a huge grin on her face, Amelia appeared to be oblivious as she hooked her beige dress up to reveal her under garments.

 

More demure: Amelia managed to cover up after accidentally giving her fans one last thing to remember

 

No hard feelings: Misha B and Sophie Habibis greeted each other warmly with an affectionate hug

The 17-year-old, who was also dressed in a black leather jacket, had decided to bare her legs despite the wintry weather.

And she may live to regret her choice as she grasped her blue clutch bag, as well as the hem of her skirt.

Champions: Little Mix attended the party, with glamourpuss Leigh-Anne Pinnock the only one to wear heels

But she wasn't the only contestant who made an impact for the wrong reasons at the party.

Sophie Habibis, who was one of the first to be voted off the competition, stood out in an interesting coral mini dress with frayed floorlength hem.

Celebrations: Tulisa took along boyfriend Fazer to mark her winning the show with Little Mix, but where's their N-Dubz bandmate Dappy?

Partying: Tulisa was ecstatic her girl group won the competition on her first season as judge on the show

But even the bright colour couldn't prevent all eyes heading to her chest.

The 19-year-old pushed her cleavage in to the strapless frock but her curves spilled out, revealing her black bra.

The singers were all celebrating the end of the show, which saw Gary Barlow's act Marcus Collins walk away with the runner's up prize.

Gothic chic: Kitty Brucknell opted for an all-black ensemble, but could barely see through her false eyelashes

Where's Harry? The Xtra Factor presenter Caroline Flack stepped out minus her One Direction toyboy

Unlike the girls, the 23-year-old Scouser managed to stay looking dapper as he arrived at the bash, wearing his trademark large smile with black trousers and top.

And 23-year-old X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos also couldn't keep herself away from the party as she celebrated her big win on her first season of the show.

Dapper: Runner-up Marcus was all smiles as he managed to keep himself covered up

Reunited: Marcus and Craig Colton grew close on the show, with the runner-up devastated when his vote was voted out

Dragging her boyfriend and N-Dubz bandmate Fazer along for the festivities, the singer looked stunning in a tight gold asymmetrical mini dress from online fashion brand Forever Unique.

And while she clutched on to her beau, there was no sign of their bandmate Dappy, who had slated the show just hours after his cousin triumphed on the programme.

Still causing a ruckus: Frankie Cocozza shunned the attention, with Jonjo Kerr stepping in to help guide the wild child through the photographers

The rapper, who took to the stage at the Academy 2 in Manchester and told the audience at his gig on Sunday night 'This is what fame is, not standing for hours outside to audition for X Factor', before launching into his new single Rockstar, which features Queen guitarist Brian May.

Dappy continued his tirade against X Factor boss Simon Cowell saying 'F*** Simon Cowell'.

And it appears his comments have left him out in the cold as Tulisa failed to invite him to the party.

How girls outshone the X Factor boys: Females topped vote each week but millions switch off

By Simon Neville

Last updated at 8:00 AM on 13th December 2011


This year’s X Factor series proved to be a case of Girl Power reigning supreme.

The programme has released the voting percentages for the entire series, which show that female contestants were consistently more popular than the boys.

Irish teenager Janet Devlin received the most votes in the early weeks with eventual winners Little Mix not surging through until the latter stages of the competition.

X-Factor winners Little Mix (l-r Jade, Jesy, Perrie, Leigh Ann) with judge Tulisa Contoslavos (in centre). Girls outshone the boys in this years program

In 2010, winner Matt Cardle topped the voting throughout the entire series.
But this year, three acts took turns to grab the public’s affections and lead the field.

Miss Devlin, 17, was the bookmakers’ early favourite to win the competition, topping the poll in the first four weeks.


This included securing nearly a quarter of the total votes cast in the first week of voting.

She came second in week six behind the reinstated Amelia Lily, 17, who replaced Frankie Cocozza, 18, after he was axed for boasting of drug-taking.

High performing girls: Janet Devlin, Misha Bryan and Amelia Lily stole the show at this year's X-Factor

But after a string of poor performances, including twice forgetting her words, Miss Devlin slipped back and her position was taken by Little Mix.

Miss Lily’s popularity was also confirmed in the figures, topping the poll twice and being runner-up once, as well as taking third place in the final. the overall runner-up Marcus Collins, 23, never topped the public vote.

His best performance came in week five, when he gained second place.

Misha Bryan, 19, widely thought to have the strongest voice on the show, and who finished fourth, had the most varied set of results.

In week three she came third, but a week later she was bottom of the poll.

In week seven she finished second, only to once again end up last in week eight.

The figures that really matter, however, are the ratings.

The final, which aired live from Wembley Arena in North London on Sunday evening, was down more than four million viewers on the previous year.

Outshone: Marcus Collins (left), 23 never topped the public vote while Franie Cocozza (right), 17, was booted from the show for boasting about drug taking

It had an average audience of 13.1million, according to overnight TV ratings figures. That compared unfavourably to the 17.2million who watched Matt Cardle triumph in the 2010 competition.

Indeed, it was the lowest average audience for the final of the series since 2007, when Leon Jackson won the show.

ITV could at least draw comfort from the series still being the third most successful in The X Factor’s history.

The final helped to boost the series average up to 11million viewers across the 17-week run. It was also the second most watched show on British TV this year, behind only the Royal Wedding in April.

ITV also pointed out that BBC1 rival Strictly Come Dancing had averaged 9.7million viewers this series.

However, Strictly’s finale does not take place until this weekend, which is likely to boost its overall viewing figures substantially.

Little Mix party with mentor Tulisa after X Factor win - but are up at crack of dawn for Daybreak

Welcome to your new life! Little Mix party with mentor Tulisa after X Factor win - but are up at crack of dawn for Daybreak

By Nadia Mendoza

The champagne would have been flowing freely as they embarked on their first night as popstars at The X Factor aftershow held at the five star Corinthia Hotel in central London.

But with chart success comes hard work - and Little Mix were no doubt nursing hangovers as they woke up at the crack of dawn today for their first post-show interview.

By 7am, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jesy Nelson and Jade Thirlwall had already tweeted that they were at the Daybreak studio ready for their chat with Kate Garraway.

Fresh-faced: Despite having barely slept, the girls looked ready to start their new careers

Straight to work: Little Mix appeared on Daybreak and then again on Lorraine

They wrote: '@daybreak getting made up for the show. It's too early! Thanks so much for all your support #littlemixers we love you.'

During their conversation with Garraway, Essex girl Nelson said their victory had not yet sunk in, revealing: 'I don't think it is ever going to sink in. Every week, we prepared ourselves to go out.'

Pinnock, 19, added: 'When he (Dermot O'Leary) said Little Mix, it was "My gosh, this is just insane!"'

Winners: Little Mix triumphed on ITV1 last night, becoming the first group to win X Factor

Winner's luck: Leigh-Anne switched into her heels, while Perrie still opted for her gold trainers she had performed in

Last night, the quartet made history as the first girlband ever to triumph on Simon Cowell's series.

The Syco boss was busy tweeting his support for the girls, despite not starring on the panel this year, saying: 'Congratulations to @LIttleMixOffic. And Paula as you can see, groups can win this show!

He added: 'I was really hoping a group would win this year. @OfficialTulisa has done a great job. These girls could be stars.'

Following their stint on Daybreak, the girls also visited the famous sofa of This Morning and Lorraine.

Over the moon: Tulisa Contostavlos wept onstage after her 'Little Muffins' were crowned winners

Glamorous: Tulisa opted for a more practical dress after struggling to sit down on the live shows

Jade told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield that they had spent time with their loved ones after winning the competition, before heading to bed in preparation of their busy day.

She said: 'We got a nice little cuddle from our mums, spoke to Tulisa and then went to bed.'

Leigh-Anne added: 'From the beginning, I never really saw myself in a girlband. I didn't want to be in one. Then they put me in one and I could not be on my own now.'

Where's Harry? Caroline Flack deflected attention from her romance with One Direction singer by attending with older male friend

The redhead also revealed they had received flowers from a certain lady called Geri Halliwell and credited Tulisa as 'the most amazing person' who they 'wouldn't have got this far' without.

While Perrie and Leigh-Anne remained in their stage costumes last night, baby of the group Jade, 18, slipped into jeans, a red puffer jacket and Ugg boots after initially performing in a festive dress.

Jesy, 20, also switched outfits, changing out of her gold leggings in favour of leopard print.

Ecstatic: The moment Little Mix were told they had beaten Marcus Collins

Mentor Tulisa Contostavlos continued to show her support for her 'Little Muffins', attending the party.
She too changed out of her awkward attire that proved difficult to walk in and squeeze into her judging seat, by opting for a simple navy frock with black Mary Janes.
The N-Dubz beauty also had her say on Twitter, writing: 'I know its cheese but I swear down,2nit (sic) has shown me, if u really believe in sumin n want it bad enough it can happen,u just need 2 believe.

Rising stars: Little Mix will be catapulted into self-promotion, with appearances on This Morning, Daybreak and Lorraine

'Thank u little mixers n ndubletts uve change 4 beautiful girls lives 2nit! THANK U SO MUCH XXX'
Obviously there weren't enough canapes at the party, as she later said: 'what do ya do after ur act wins the xfactor?...go 2 ur local kebab shop of course, wooooiiiiii....LOVE U #LITTLEMIX keep it real.'
Little Mix's debut single Cannonball is expected to be the Christmas No1, although excitement is already brewing that the girls may record a duet with Tulisa.

Ready for another? Thirsty Xtra Factor host Olly Murs clutched an empty bottle

The 23-year-old revealed on The Xtra Factor: 'There’s been talks but I’m not one hundred per cent. I would love to do this and when I release my album we might re-record that as a single and put it on.'

During the final, each judge joined their remaining act for a duet, with Tulisa and the band singing a mash-up of Alicia Keys songs If I Ain't Got You and Empire State Of Mind.

This morning Jesy's mother said that her daughter's band winning 'felt like a dream.'

The police community support officer from Canvey Island, Essex, said: "I woke up this morning and had to ask myself, "am I dreaming or did Little Mix really win The X Factor last night?".

'The best part of it all isn't the winning, it's the positive comments that the girls have had from their fans.

Reunited: Craig Col'ton gives Marcus Collins his consolation prize - a squeeze

Chasing contracts: Sophie Habibis and Amelia Lily will have to fight to be signed after being eliminated

'They are four ordinary girls but they have had so many letters from teenage girls and boys telling them how inspiring they have been.'

She added: 'I think one of the things Jesy's most excited about is meeting Simon Cowell. Apparently, he really likes Little Mix and she's desperate to meet him.'

Runner-up Marcus Collins put on a brave face as he attended the swish venue, with Craig Colton offering some consolation squeezes.

Think pink: Comeback kid Amelia Lily came third in third in the series

The Liverpudlian hairdresser, 23, still has high hopes for his career, despite not winning, tweeting: 'Thank you so much to all those who supported me. I'm sure I'll be seeing you all very soon!!xxxx'

In keeping with her pink theme, teenager Amelia Lily clutched a bright neon bag despite losing the candyfloss tint and going back to her peroxide locks.

The 17-year-old reached the final and performed with Kelly Rowland on Saturday night, but was eliminated from the competition leaving just Marcus and Little Mix to sing last night.

However, the Destiny's Child star didn't materialise last night at the party.

Supportive: Louis Walsh attended with Tulisa - but Kelly Rowland and Gary Barlow were nowhere in sight

Engaged: Caroline Flack revealed on The Xtra Factor that Dermot O'Leary had popped the question to Dee Koppang

She was criticised on Saturday for abandoning Lily at a crucial time and rushing out of the X Factor studio to support her favourite contestant Misha B during her first live show at G-A-Y.

The Xtra hosts Olly Murs and Caroline Flack joined in the festivities, with 32-year-old Flack deflecting attention from her romance with One Direction star Harry Styles, 17, by attending with a male friend.

Westlife stars Nicky Byrne and Shane Filan donned their leather jackets to mingle with the reality stars, having taken to the stage at Wembley to bid farewell to fans as they go their separate ways.

Moving on: Nicky Byrne performed his farewell gig with Westlife at Wembley

A night away from the kids: Shane Filan and wife Gillian took time off from parent duties

They've done it! Little Mix make X Factor history as they become first group EVER to take home the crown

Little Mix tonight made X Factor history as they became the first group ever to win the ITV talent show.

Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall beat finalist Marcus Collins at the final hurdle to take home the crown after a series of stunning performances on the final show.

Screaming with delight as they were told they had won the show, the girls burst into tears before speaking to host Dermot O'Leary.

They've done it! Little Mix beat Marcus Collins to take home the X Factor crown

Stunned: The girls, and their mentor Tulisa Contostavlos, struggled to contain their emotions as the result was announced

The quartet struggled to control their emotions as they were crowned the winners, with Leigh-Anne telling Dermot: 'Oh my gosh, wow!'

Jesy added: 'This is never going to sink in. We can never thank the public enough for voting for us.'

Tulisa, who burst into tears when the news was announced, added later: 'I think I wanted them to win more than they did.'

Nerves: The girls and their fellow finalist Marcus Collins awaited the news of the result

Overcome: Jade and Tulisa started screaming when the results were announced

Congratulations: The girls hugged runner-up Marcus as his mentor Gary applauded them

Simon Cowell, who has been absent from this year's panel, was also quick to congratulate the girls, writing on his Twitter page: 'Congratulations to @LIttleMixOffic . And Paula as you can see, groups can win this show! I was really hoping a group would win this year. @OfficialTulisa has done a great job. These girls could be stars.'

Little Mix have now released their cover of Damien Rice's Cannonball as their winner's single, and are hoping to clinch the coveted Christmas number one spot with the track.

Winner's single: Little Mix's Cannonball is out now

Irish singer Rice reached number 32 on the UK Singles Chart back in 2003 with Cannonball, the second single from his debut album O. Rice then re-released the track in 2004, hitting number 19 in the UK and 21 in Ireland.

However, many fans took to Twitter before the results were announced to speculate that the decision had already been made, after the Marks and Spencer Christmas advert featured Little Mix at the end instead of Amelia Lily, who had featured at the end before.

One fan tweeted: 'Well its obvious little mix were gonna win , they were the ones at the end of the marks and spencer advert.'

While another added: 'How can Marks and Spencer's know that little mix have won before we do?'

The show began with the two finalists trying to overcome their nerves about who would be named the winner, with Marcus saying: 'A couple more performances now and one of us is going to be crowned the winner. It's amazing.'

Little Mix added: 'We really want to do well, we really want to win!'

Teary: Little Mix pose up with Tulisa after they were announced as the winners

Fix factor? Fans took to Twitter to speculate that the decision had been made before the results were announced after the Marks and Spencer advert featured Little Mix on the end

Host Dermot O'Leary looked dapper in his black tuxedo as he made his way to the stage to introduce the evening's show, although he decided to leave the dance moves after last night's opening medley.

Dermot then introduced the X Factor judges, Kelly Rowland, Louis Walsh, Tulisa Contostavlos and Gary Barlow.

Making a grand entrance on an elevated platform, Gary and Louis had to help Tulsa off the platform as her fitted fishtail dress made it incredibly difficult for her to walk.

Judgement day: The judges make their way to the stage for the final time

Finalists: Little Mix and Marcus Collins fought it out for the X Factor crown

Kelly, meanwhile, looked stunning in a pretty gold dress with a short from and long train back.

Marcus and Little Mix then kicked off the finalists' performance of Rihanna and Calvin Harris' We Found Love, before they were joined on stage by some other familiar faces.

They then mashed-up We Found Love with Sweat, Shuffling, Jennifer Lopez' On The Floor as The Risk, Nu Vibe, Two Shoes, Misha B, Janet Devlin, Sophie Habibis and Goldie Cheung strutted their stuff.

Blondes have more fun: Amelia Lily and Kitty Brucknell seemed to be enjoying the performance

Familiar faces: Craig Colton, 2 Shoes and Sophie Habibis returned for another performance

Johnny Robinson and Sami Brookes then kicked off Moves Like Jagger, joined by Craig Colton, before Kitty Brucknell stood o the judges table as she belted out Lady Gaga's The Edge Of Glory, joined by Amelia Lily, who narrowly missed out on a place in the final show.

Noticeably absent, however, was Frankie Cocozza, who dropped out of the show following allegations of drug taking.

The solo performances were kicked off by Marcus, who decided to sing his favourite track of the series, Higher and Higher.

Powerful in pink: Marcus donned his favourite pink shirt and jacket to once again perform Higher and Higher

So proud: Marcus' mentor Gary said he couldn't be more proud of the Liverpudlian

Explaining his decision, Marcus said: 'Performing higher and higher was a real moment for me on the show, it was one of my favourite performances on the whole series.

'It's such an important song to me, it gives me such a boost every time I hear it.'

Marcus added: 'I always knew I wanted to be a singer, even when I was younger. It would mean so much to me if I could win The X Factor - I don't want my dreams dashed at the last minute.'

Scenic: Marcus was accompanied by a full gospel choir for his performance

Standing ovation: Gary was quick to stand up and applaud Marcus after his song

After his performance, Louis said: 'Marcus, you are a born little pop star. soulful, likeable, amazing - you've got it all.'

Tulisa said: 'That is your best song of the series and I predict a very bright future for you, well done.'

A clearly excitable Kelly added: 'First of all, you lifted this crowd this evening higher and higher. And I hope you have enjoyed every minute of the time you were here and I hope you know how bright and big your future is. I'm so in love with you and I'm so happy you got this far.'

Giving it their all: Little Mix chose to perform Don't Let Go again

Songbirds: Jesy and Jade couldn't control their excitement as they belted out the track for fans

And mentor Gary said: 'Once again well done and congrats on another amazing performance. In the history of The X Factor I can't remember a finalist or a winner who takes hold of the stage like you do and shines even amongst 40 people.'

Next up was Little Mix, who sang Don't Let Go.

Talking about why they had chosen to sing that song, Leigh-Anne said: 'When we performed that for the first time, we felt like we came together as a group.'

Unbelievable: The girls looked overwhelmed by the comments from the X Factor judges after the performance

Mixed emotions: Tulisa couldn't stop smiling after their rendition of the track, while Kelly was reduced to tears

Jesy added: 'It was so fun but it still felt powerful at the same time. We are so excited to be given the chance to sing this song again.'

And Leigh-Anne said: 'To do it in front of thousands of people at Wembley, the adrenaline is going to make us sing it even better.'

Wearing sexy monochrome outfits, the girls burst out of the stage on springboards before going straight into the powerful track.

Following their performance, Louis said: 'I'm going to predict Tulisa that this time next year, this is going to be the biggest girl group in the UK by a mile. Girls, amazing, but you need the votes!'

Feeling festive? Marcus Collins started the Christmas songs with a rendition of Wham!'s Last Christmas

Delighted: Marcus said he thoroughly enjoyed the performance

An emotional Kelly said: 'I'm sorry I'm crying but I'm just so happy for y'all because I remember where you started. I love you guys, congratulations.'

Gary added: 'I'm so happy tonight that you came back with that song, great performance, well done.'

And Tulisa said: 'Girls, amazing. I want to thank everyone at home who picked up the phone and kpet you in each week. You picked up the phone because you wanted them to win so those votes meant nothing unless you pick up the phone right now. Vote for Little Mix!'

Next up, Marcus and Little Mix took to the stage once more to perform their choice of festive classics.

Marcus was first with a cover of Wham!'s Last Christmas, encouraging the audience to sing along as he worked the stage in his checked three-piece suit.

Breaking it down: Little Mix kept it simple with their performance of Silent Night

Personalised: Little Mix wore jumpers printed with their names for the festive track

Afterwards, Louis said: 'Every week you bring something new and you are always happy, you're always smiling and you're always grateful - you're work ethic is amazing.'

Tulisa said: 'This has been such a long journey for the contestants, for the judges. I think we've been so caught up in it that we forgot It's Christmas! But you reminded us.'

The Little Mix-ican: One fan with a specially created Little Mix pizza

Kelly added: 'What a great early Christmas gift, ho ho ho. Marcus, I just love you and I'm so happy for you once again. Congratulations.'

And Gary said: 'I'm going to do something I haven't done all series and I'm going to ask the whole nation to vote for you tonight. I can't tell you what a pleasure it has been to work with you, it has made the series for me.'

Next up was Little Mix, performing Silent Night, showcasing their amazing vocal talents with the stunning track.

Following their performance, Louis said: 'Girls, after that performance, we know we've got something special. We have four lead singers ina girl band and that hasn't happened for a long time before. It's almost like you were meant to be together - it just works. Little Mix, big future!'

And Kelly said: 'You girls sounded so great on that record. Merry fricking Christmas. And I love your sweaters!'

Gary said: 'Simple, beautiful, emotional and very Christmassy.'

And Tulisa said: 'Girls, i have pretty much said all I can say but I just want to say again how proud of you I am from the bottom of my heart. You have done so well and who says that a girl group can't win the X Factor - I believe you can do it.'

Farewell performance: Westlife performed for the last time on television as a band

Dermot then asked the judges what their personal highlights of the series were.

Louis said: 'Working with these three judges has been amazing. But Johnny and Kitty every week brought something new so I have to say my highlight was Johny and Kitty.'

Tulisa said: 'My highlight was every single week, the results show seeing Little Mix get through.'

And Kelly said: 'Being a mentor to such incredible talent is amazing.'

Gary concluded: 'I wanted to put a musical stamp on this show and then a Chinese lady called Goldie Cheung put her leg around my neck and I thought, what am I doing here?'

Is this the winners' single? Marcus performs Damien Rice's Cannonball

Emotional: Marcus gets a hug from presenter Dermot O'Leary after the performance

The first guest performance came from Westlife, who were performing for the final time on television as the group after announcing earlier this year that they would be splitting following a farewell tour.

Then it was time for both acts to perform Cannonball, the winner's single.

Marcus was up first, with Louis saying afterwards: 'Another powerful vocal performance. If I was looking for the perfect pop star I would get you. All you need now is votes.'

Support: Robbie Williams and Marcus's mum Tracy sent video messages of support to the Liverpudlian ahead of the results announcement

Tulisa said: 'You really do have everything - the voice, the star quality, the personality and one of the most beautiful smiles I have ever seen.'

Kelly said: 'That was such a beautiful, emotional performance tonight and I can tell how bad you want this and I want this for you.'

And Gary said: 'Congratulations, what a performance that was. I would never have picked that song for you but you sing it so beautifully.'

Getting some support in video messages from his family, Robbie Williams said: 'Marcus, you are amazing and you are going to be an awesome artist.'

Stripping it back: Little Mix kept it simple with their more acoustic approach to Cannonball

Emotional: Tulisa was reduced to tears by Little Mix's final performance

His mother Tracy was also seen saying: 'I just wanted to say how very proud of you I am. Who would have believed you would be standing here in the final. You're my little boy and I do hope that that little boy goes on to become a really big star because you deserve it.'

Then it was the turn of Little Mix to perform Cannonball, going for a more acoustic approach with the track.

With all the girls struggling to control their emotions, Louis said: 'Well girls, we're all getting emotional is because four little pop princesses have been born. We need some girl power, you deserve the votes.'

Stunned: The girls watch as they get messages of support from family and friends

Famous faces: This Morning's Holly Willoughby said she was backing Little Mix to win

Kelly said: 'Ladies, congratulations. Thinking about how far you have come, look at how dynamic you are collectively.'

Gary said: 'Well done, you twisted this song and made into a Little Mix song which is hard to do.'

And Tulisa said: 'Jade, you are the most adorable person I have ever known, Jesy, you are inspiring, Leigh-Anne, you remind me of myself years ago and Perrie, you were born a star.'

Tears all around: The girls struggled to control their emotions after seeing the messages

The girls were then shown messages of support from their family and friends, as well as celebrity fans including Holly Willoughby and Jessie J.

The next guest performance came from Coldplay, who performed their single Charlie Brown, before going into Paradise.

Frontman Chris Martin wore a casual blue T-shirt as the group belted out their songs to a psychedelic backdrop, much to the delight of the fans.

Asked if they were fans of the show, Martin said: 'We love the show, we're so happy to be on it, it's great.'

Psychedelic: Coldplay performed to a backdrop of bright colours as they belted out their songs

Sweaty: Martin said his advice to contestants was not to get as sweaty as he did
