X Factor Celebrity starts tonight (Saturday, October 26) at 8.20pm and we’re not too sure of what to expect from the spin-off show’s live act.
X Factor has been on ITV for the past 10 years and this is the first time celebrities have been able to compete in the competition.
So what about Megan McKenna’s musical past? Here’s everything you need to know.
McKenna starred in her own reality show Something About Megan which saw her travel all the way to Nashville to try and get a recording contract.
Speaking to The Sun about the show, she said: “What people don't know is that I've been making music myself for years as a hobby.
"I've been working with a lot of different producers and recording things.
“Hopefully with this show, I will finally be able to do it properly and release something.”

McKenna released her first single High Heeled Shoes which she sang on the ITVBe show and went on to release an album called Story of Me.
Earlier this year, she toured around the UK performing intimate acoustic concerts.
Her album managed to knock Dolly Parton from the top of the iTunes Country Music Chart back in December 2018.
She also performed at Dixie Fields, Essex’s first-ever country music festival.
On X Factor Celebrity last week, McKenna sang Everything But You, a song she penned herself.
Following her performance, the audience gave her a standing ovation, along with some of her fellow contestants who were watching her sing in the back room.
Judge Louis Walsh told her she would be part of his category and would be performing in the live shows.
Through tears, McKenna said: "You don't know what this means to me. I have wanted this my entire life.”
