FINAL SWITCH-UP

ALL The X Factor groups have changed their names… but what will they be called as they head into the live shows?

Some of the bands had already had one name switch - but what are they calling themselves from now on?

ALL Three X Factor groups that have been announced the live finals have also revealed that they have changed their names ahead of the shows.

This will be the first year that every band has made the decision to give themselves a re-brand, with Ottavio and Bradley being the first to make the announcement.

The colourful duo appeared on the Xtra Factor to tell hosts Rylan Clark-Neal and Matt Edmonson that they would now combine their names and become Bratavio.

Keeping with a popstar trend a la Justin Bieber's Beliebers, the confident duo also had a name picked out for their fan base - The Brats.

The Brooks were the next to reveal their moniker change, and instead of being called The Brooks the twins announced they would be called Brooks Way from now on.

Making the announcement on Twitter, the 17-year-old's revealed their name-change was due to 'legal reasons' but said they are "really happy" about it.

They also revealed that they would be performing DNCE's Cake By The Ocean in their first live performance.

5am were the final band to announce that they were going to become 5 After Midnight as, despite suggestions otherwise, this was what the A.M. stood for in their name prior to the change.

The newly named groups will follow in the footsteps of bands that have gone on to become hits off the back of the show.

When Little Mix first made it through, the group were asked to change their name from Rhythmix.

Union J also changed their name after making it through the judges houses - and were originally called Triple J.

Louis Walsh's choices about who to bring through to the finals have not been short of controversy - with some fans calling for the Irish judge to be sacked after choosing 'comedy' duo Bratavio over more 'serious' performers and fan favourites 4 of Diamonds.

Fans were full of praise for the all female pop band following their “amazing” performance during the judges’ houses stage, and they were stunned when mentor Louis gave them the boot.

He later chose to keep divisive duo Ottavio and Bradley in the competition, and the move left viewers fuming.

Simon Cowell's final three girls were revealed as Emily Middlemas, Gifty Louise and Samantha Lavery.

There was more drama as eagle-eyed fans appeared to spot something suspicious while Simon was watching his acts sing.

Sharon Osbourne also came under fire for bringing back controversial contestant Honey G, and viewers threatened a boycott of the show.
