We had a dream about this happening and then it happened. Maybe that means we will get to go abseiling with Karen Gillan, after all. The public are being given the chance to vote for the return of The X Factor contestants that were cruelly and pointlessly kicked out in the first week of the live shows. Ridiculous? Yes. Shark jumping? Uh huh. Scandalous? Quite probably. But it means one very good thing…

2 Shoes back in the show!

This.Must.Happen.

Sure, some of you will be all, “Aw, James Michael had the face of a particularly soppy angel. Let’s get him back.” There might even be a few of you still toying with a weird crush on Amelia Lily (she’s 16, people!). And, um, well we don’t imagine JonJo is packing a suitcase.

But 2 Shoes are and were always what this series of X Factor needs. Yes, they make us laugh. But, given the competition, they also can sing up a storm and have, in our inexpert shouting-on-the-sofa opinion, a better chance than anyone else of shifting albums.

2 Shoes are basically two Adeles run amok in the tanning shop. What’s not to love?
