Some have been gone from our screens for so long we've almost forgotten them, while some it seems like they never left.

But last night, all the X Factor finalists - bar shamed Frankie Cocozza of course - returned to the studio to perform the show's charity single.

Kitty Brucknell, Sophie Habibis and Two Shoes led the wannabe pop stars who joined the current semi-finalists, One Direction and JLS for a rendition of Wishing On A Star.

It wasn't just another chance for them to show their vocal ability on live TV again, it was also a reunion for them to catch up with their former housemates.

Although previously admitting clashing with Misha B because they were 'both ambitious', Kitty Brucknell showed her support for the Mancunian teenager during the sing-off with Janet Devlin.

She tweeted: 'Yeah... OK Misha B isn't going anywhere!!!'

But it looks like she is championing Little Mix to win the show, adding: 'OMG crying!!! Little Mix I love you! I knew you could do it.'

Brucknell, 27, clearly enjoyed being back on stage: 'So much funnnnn!'

Craig Colton, who left the show just a week ago, was also been showing his support for bookies' favourite Little Mix and fellow Scouser Marcus Collins.
