It’s been reported today that tomorrow night’s live edition of The X Factor could be cancelled after several of this year’s finalists have been hit by a ‘flu bug.
Singers James Graham, Casey Johnson – who are members of eight-piece boy band Stereo Kicks – Ben Haenow and Jake Quickenden have been laid low by the virus, and have been ordered to undergo voice rest as they suffer from sore throats.
Lola Saunders has likewise contracted ‘flu and is currently on a course of antibiotics while Stephanie Nala has, like James, Casey, Ben and Jake, been told she must rest her voice. And though she’s not suffering from ‘flu, Chloe Jasmine is still in pain with the injury caused when she stood on glass earlier this week.
On Twitter, James told his followers, “On the way to the doctors with @Bhaenow #properillbruv.”
He later wrote, “Praying my voice gets better ASAP!!!”
Casey meanwhile tweeted, “Studio with @bhaenow both feeling ill.”
An X Factor insider told The Sun, “Everyone seems to be getting ill. It’s a real worry.
“There are so many contestants on voice rest, but hopefully that will mean they’re well enough for the show.”
However, it seems that the finalists have been doing their best to keep up with their commitments this week, as well as having some pampering…

Yeah so if it is what is going to happen I pre-ordered Lauren Platts song and it be Week 3
It could be we just have to wait I hope it's on I can't wait another week I missed watching Lauren plus I like her song
I very much doubt the scheduling will allow for that.
The show must go on, as they say!
omg....the contestants caught Ebola...lol...but in all honesty, well have like 7 sick acts tmr...it's going be a disaster of a show...
They would properly put Harry Potter on for the 1000 time
I doubt it will be cancelled, they might even let the non ill ones perfume, but also open up the phonelines for the others as well.
They are all living in one house so are catching the same cold. Paul and a few others had it last week and still performed. And the others are all up and about. it might affect some voices this weekend but they will still perform. A lot of drama over nothing.
Finally, ITV are not going to have a Saturday night without this show on. The ratings are too important to them. Other things that are important to ITV and XF - publicity and headlines, and these ridiculous stories are desperate attempts to keep the show in the media spotlight. If they say the word 'crisis' lots of times and put CANCELLED in capital letters, with 'maybe' in small print afterwards, I'm guessing they hope people will pay more attention to them rather than the higher rated show on the other side!
Couldn't have put it better myself
100%. Half of our office have had colds over the last few weeks and we've all managed to carry on. It's not flu. You know if you've got the flu. Real flu means at least a week where it's a struggle to drag yourself out of bed and even eating soup is too much effort. Flu = 2 weeks of being really ill. A cold = a few days feeling rough followed by a cough and the sniffles - not the same thing at all

#XFactor80sWeek LANDS… 😱😆👏🎉🙌
I fully expect the show to go ahead as planned ;-)
How will we tell the difference to any other week?
And it's always the one in danger of going home. Selective laryngitis!
BIB - That actually happened to me. I crawled outside in my pyjamas, but the tenner blew away in the wind.
