X Factor finalists 2018: Who made it through to the live shows?
Here's the full list of finalists competing for the X Factor crown during the live shows and who is out
The live shows have finally arrived, meaning the real competition begins as the singers must battle it out for the public vote.
Ayda Field, Robbie Williams, Louis Tomlinson and Simon Cowell have wittled down a huge group of performers to just 16 acts, who will each perform live each week, starting on Saturday October 19, to secure the public's favour.
Of course, as is often the case with X Factor , there may still be some surprises in store for the performers as twists such as double eliminations and shock duets may still threaten their future success.
But who is in the live shows?
