This precise week is the most exciting time of the year for one very specific reason, and it ain't Christmas.

THAT'S RIGHT. It's X Factor final time!

The X Factor finale has delivered us (arguably) some of the best television moments of all time. There was the time that Alexandra Burke sang with Beyonce (AKA the best moment of all of our lives), the time Matt Cardle sang with Rihanna and it was the sxciest thing we've ever seen. And the time Nicole Scherzinger's mic didn't work so she grabbed it off of her contestant Jahmene Douglas.

And this year looks set to be bigger than ever - For this year's duet rumoured line-up, click HERE.

One rumoured dueting partner being thrown about for 5 After Midnight was the Spice Girls (Geri Horner, Mel B and Emma Bunton), which would obviously be f*cking incredible and could definitely see 5AM win the show (in our opinion).

But sad news, guys – it looks like this ain’t gonna happen.

A source told The Sun: “The girls were very keen to make it happen and negotiations went on throughout the week.

“But at the end of the day they couldn’t make the schedules work. Mel B was in town for the filming of Lip Sync Battle, but she has to get to New York to start rehearsals for Chicago on Broadway.

“They did everything they could to make the schedules work at the end of the day but it just couldn’t happen."
