The X Factor 2015: Watch Cheryl Fernandez-Versini crash Reggie’N’Bollie’s performance
CHERYL FERNANDEZ-VERSINI joined her contestants Reggie’N’Bollie on stage tonight during their roof-raising performance on The X Factor.
Cheryl got up on stage with her act
The long-serving judge, looking spectacular in a jumpsuit with a red ribbon for World AIDS Day, danced with her double-act in a moment viewers were loving at home.
The Ghanaian duo were singing Silento’s Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae), which has sparked a global dance phenomenon and has racked up 434 million views on YouTube.
Their rendition was voted the best of the first round by impartial judge Simon Cowell, who said it trumped other performances by the likes of Louisa Johnson, 4th Impact, Lauren Murray and Che Chesterman.
But on his co-star getting up on-stage, he quipped: “Didn’t like the end part, I thought the dancing was a bit iffy.”

He also hinted at Cheryl showing favouritism towards them over her other remaining act, 4th Impact - but she assured him that performing with them was “yet to come”.
Cheryl wasn’t the only one who joined them on-stage - as Reggie’s sons also took to the stage and melted the entire room’s hearts.
“I want them to win over dull Louisa every time,” wrote one viewer online, while another said: “we LOVE it LIKE it go on Cheryl we love u”.
They are set to perform Taio Cruz’s Dynamite as their second song and have now eclipsed Lauren Murray and Che Chesterman to become the second favourites to win the whole show - behind only Louisa.
With odds of 5/1, they are considered a shoe-in to be at the Wembley final in two weeks’ time.
The X Factor returns with another elimination tomorrow at 8pm.
