The new-look X Factor brings together stars from the worlds of music, film, sport, television and social media as they compete to win a life-changing recording contract.

This weekend sees the live shows begin as the top contestants from the auditions sing for the judges and viewer votes.

One of the acts performing will be Try Star, made up of rugby players Thom Evans, Ben Foden and Levi Davis.

According to The Sun newspaper, they’re set to perform a Magic Mike inspired routine to Ginuwine’s worldwide hit Pony.

“The lads are going all-out with a striptease routine. They are even wearing leather,” a source shared. “At first, bosses loved their idea. But as rehearsals continue, the routines have got racier.

“They’re worried there could be Ofcom complaints if they don’t tone down the hip thrusts.”

Simon is mentoring the groups which alongside Try Star include reality stars Samira Mighty, Zara McDermott, Wes Nelson and Eyal Booker who form The Islanders; Social Media Stars and CBBC Presenters Max and Harvey and Influencers Sofia, Alondra, Laura, Wendii and Natalie who make up V5.
