The X Factor 2016: Third week Diva theme song choices and A-list guest stars revealed

It was a dramatic end for Freddy Parker on The X Factor last week when he performed on stage for the last time after losing out to Finnish powerhouse Saara in the sing-off. But Saturday night's (22 October) third live show of the series is all about Divas as the remaining acts sing the greatest songs of the biggest egos in the business.

Dermot O'Leary will keep things trotting along with ease as judges Simon Cowell, Nicole Scherzinger, Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne offer their thoughts and advice as usual.

Parker is the latest act to get the boot following first eliminees of the series Bratavio along with Brooks Way – who left the competition 'by mutual consent.' 4 Of Diamonds joined the line up in their place – and nine other acts are now in the running to be crowned The X Factor 2016.

And with this week's ambitious theme Divas setting the contestants their biggest challenge thus far – we'll see if they've got the big voices to match. The three singers with the fewest votes will face elimination in Sunday night's results show.
