Saturday's X Factor could be cancelled as contestants fall ill

This weekend’s X Factor live shows are currently ‘at risk of cancellation’ after six contestants have fallen ill with a bug.

Contestants Jake Quickenden, Stephanie Nala and Ben Haenow are among the contestants to have contracted the bug and Lola Saunders is said to be on a course of antibiotics after being sick all week.

James Graham and Casey Johnson of the eight piece boy band Stereo Kicks are also feeling under the weather. James even tweeted this picture of himself and Ben on their way to the doctors on Tuesday.

“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,” a source told The Sun.

Meanwhile Lauren and Chloe-Jasmine seem fit and healthy.
