X Factor: Westlife give their verdict (VIDEO)

Friday 12th October

As The X Factor live finals kick off next week, boyband Westlife reveal what they think of the show - and this year's contestants.

Last Saturday, viewers saw band member Kian Egan help judge Louis Walsh choose the final three contestants in the Over 25 category: Beverley Trottman, Daniel de Bourg and Niki Evans.

"Daniel is very good," said Kian, "But there were two people there who shouldn't have been in the final six."

And the band had plenty to say about hopeful Icaro...

Westlife are one of the big-name acts set to appear on this series of The X Factor over the coming weeks.

The band appeared on last year's series, which was won by Leona Lewis.

But before that, Westlife will be performing their new single, Home, on Strictly Come Dancing this Saturday night.
