Matt Cardle takes five minutes out of his rehersals to chat to us about his thoughts on the final.

Have you and your X Factor friends been having fun in the snow?

You know what, we've been so busy that there hasn't been that much time to enjoy any of the snow. There was a couple days when there was a bit of snow at the studios and I managed to get Louis from One Direction with a snowball!

There's rumours you'll be singing with some 'established' performer in the final, who would you like to duet with?

I'd actually really like to do a duet with Katy Perry. I think she's got a great voice and has a really good energy during her live performances.

We spoke to Olly Murs a few weeks ago and he told us he was backing you, are you surprised by any of the awesome people backing you (not just us here at FemaleFirst, obviously!)


I got to meet Olly when he performed on the show a few weeks back and he was a really nice guy. It's amazing when you hear about a lot of famous people backing you, I just hope I can impress them in the final.

We've got to ask, what's been your favourite live show song to sing?

I think it comes down to two: 'First Time Ever I Saw Your Face' and 'Knight In White Satin'. I remember coming off stage after each and feeling really pleased with how they had gone.

Now here at FemaleFirst we're backing you and Rebecca, but if you weren't to win next weekend, who would you like to see take the crown?

I think the competition is really tough this year and there still isn't a clear winner. I think the four of us are still all in with a chance. I would have loved to see Aiden get further too, I was gutted when he left.

Well, we wish you the very best of luck for the weekend - and we hope you sing that Britney song again!

Well thank you very much! I can't give away anything about what's in store for the final, but I hope you enjoy it and thanks for your support.
