Take That have confirmed they will be performing on The X Factor live final.

The three-piece took to Twitter to confirm the rumours saying: “The rumours are true…we will return to the @TheXFactor.”

The Sun revealed how X Factor judge Robbie Williams is strongly tipped to join the band on stage.

An insider told us: “Having Robbie on the panel has been a huge coup, but obviously backstage everyone has been talking about whether or not he’s going to sing at some point.

“It seems a shame to have one of the biggest pop stars on the planet sat there and not hear him, so they’ve been plotting a surprise for the end of the series.

“It’s a while since they got together and nobody is completely sure when it was going to happen for the anniversary so it’ll be a massive moment.”
