Previously speaking to The Sun, DJ Target revealed: “There is a moment where the guys, for the first time ever we take them to one of the major UK festivals.

"Tthey perform on stage as one of the challenges and that, like for me, I had goosebumps at the time because it was like, we've never done it before and they absolutely smashed it.

“You have to watch it to really grasp it - but yeah, that's one of the many things that we've done this year that we haven't incorporated in the past.

“We've obviously done live performances or performance to an audience before but this year, we're just like, well, let's go for bigger and better,” he continued.

The Radio 1Xtra host also gave a sneak peek into what fans can expect from this year’s contest.

“This year is going to be one of those seasons where we might find a real superstar. This year we wanted to kind of lean more into the artistry and the creativity of the artists. We have done this five times over now.

“We know that, you know, rappers can come on the show and maybe be able to write some bars to a challenge and deliver those bars. Great. That's amazing. Don't get me wrong, not taking away from that.

“But now we want to see what's behind the rap challenge. Is there an artist behind there? Is there somebody who we can leave in the studio and they can come up with a smash record?

So, yeah, we find out from the very beginning there's some serious talent in this competition and I don't want to give away too much. I don't want to ruin it.
