Simon Cowell just left the X Factor finalists in shock when he announced that EIGHT of them were going to be going home tonight.
It comes after bosses made a huge u-turn on the big twist that they had planned for the live shows this weekend.
During Sunday night's show, host Dermot O'Leary had announced that FOUR would leave the competition this weekend.
But it looks like ITV bosses have rethought that idea - as it is claimed that Simon wants to allow the public to have more time to get behind their favourites.

A source told The Sun Online : "Simon thinks it's unfair to cut the numbers so drastically when contestants are doing so well."
They added that "producers want to give them more time to shine"
But as the show began tonight, Dermot asked Simon about his change of mind, and the music mogul shocked fans and contestants by saying that he was actually going to send eight contestants home tonight.
But you can breathe a sigh of relief, as he was just telling porkies.

As with the previous weeks, just one contestant will go home tonight and we'll say goodbye to another one tomorrow.
The groups and the overs are going head-to-head tonight, when the theme is George Michael.
The girls and the boys will face off tomorrow.
This week, the contestants are fighting not only to stay in the competition, but also to win the weekend prize of opening for Little Mix in front of 20,000 people in Manchester.
