‘The X Factor’ UK notes: Lauren Platt, Stevi Ritchie, Lola Saunders, and Tulisa

Tonight, there will be another new episode of “The X Factor” airing on ITV, but the good news is here: You don’t have to wait that long to get some updates all about the show!

Right now, we feel like the likely scenario is seeing the end of Lola Saunders tonight, though we wouldn’t rule out a surprise like Ben Haenow, Fleur East, or possibly even Stereo Kicks being in danger. Andrea Faustini is still the favorite to win, but we’d say that Lauren Platt and Stevi Ritchie also each have a shot at being the top vote-getters this week. This will probably be the only week Stevi gets close.

Speaking of Stevi … take a look at the photo below to see the guy alongside Harry Styles of One Direction. He’s never going to be the greatest singer, but he is so incredibly likable that it is hard to do anything other than cheer passionately for him to go really far.

Lauren Platt speaks out – Yesterday on “The Xtra Factor,” Lauren explained how she somehow managed to get her “Dark Horse” performance today at the last second, despite some incredible frustrations throughout the week:

“Everything was so great … the choreography, my outfit, the song choice, everything – but I just couldn’t do it. It just didn’t matter how many times I got up there, what I said to myself, what others said to me but I just couldn’t do it.”

What to watch – While the cast for “I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here” has not been announced yet, former judge Tulisa could be one of the participants … and will probably win if she appears.
