Names of X Factor finalists leaked on the internet

First of all, let me just quickly say that this isn't where the names of the X Factor finalists have been leaked. Sorry. Leaked they have been, though, and the show has apparently been "thrown into turmoil" with show insiders describing the situation as their "worst nightmare" and the contestants forced into hiding, for fear that the location of the X Factor house will be found out.

Shades of Big Brother here as the X Factor refuse to confirm who's actually through, but one thing that seems pretty certain - as if we couldn't have guessed it anyway - is that manufactured girl group Hope are among the 12 finalists. We'll find out for sure on Saturday.
