OK, who's devo that The X Factor is finished for another year?

This series, Saara Aalto broke a MASSIVE X Factor record and we were introduced to the one and only Honey G.

We still can't get over the fact that she did the mannequin challenge live on TV.

Now she's releasing a single, and it's everything we ever dreamed of. But if you thought she might be battling * SPOILER ALERT * X Factor champ 2016 Matt Terry for the Christmas number one slot, she actually isn't eligible.

GUTTED.

This series of The X Factor hasn't been totally drama-free – Saara Aalto was embroiled in allegations of a voting fix after it was claimed people in Finland had hacked the app to vote for her.

Turns out X Factor knew about the whole thing, and revealed that Finnish votes only made up 1% of the total vote from the series, so the hackers didn't make much of a difference…

After Matt Terry took the title last night, people are wondering whether he was the winner right from the start. Well, we've got the voting stats, and the answer is nope!

Matt got the highest number of votes in most weeks, but was matched by Emily Middlemas in week four (they both got 18.7% of the vote).

In week six, he came third with 16.7% after 5 After Midnight (19%) and Saara Aalto (18.4%) and in week eight Matt was behind Saara (23.7%) and Emily Middlemas (22.6%) with 21.2%.

In week nine, Saara beat him again with 28.8% of the vote, when he came third with 22.5%. 5 After Midnight were second with 26.6%.

In the final, Matt won with 48.5% of the total vote, which is pretty impressive. Saara got 40%, and 5 After Midnight were kicked out of the competition with only 11.1%.

That's more maths than we've done since our last late night ASOS binge. If you still want more, you can see the full stats here.

What will we do now that X Factor's over for another year? There's only a few more weeks to wait until Celebrity Big Brother 2017
