Any X-factor winners/finalists switched/switching on your town's Xmas lights?

Andy Abraham (the binman) is switching ours on tomorrow night. I'm heading into town with the girls to watch after they begged me.

Andrew Johnston from Britains Got Talent is turning ours on this weekend ?

If I read right, Merry Hill has Peter Andre!!! ?

(not an X factor person I know)

Michelle McManus is supposed to be switching on the christmas lights in the town where I work. Not X-factor but she did win Pop Idol/Stars or whatever it was called.

Joflake,

My daughter (2) would've loved Pingu!

We thought it might've been too noisy for her yesterday but she loved Same Difference - she keeps saying "man and lady jumping!" ?

KB3,

Wouldn't have minded seeing Andy.

Not sure where you both are but Leon Jackson is going to be in Paisley tomorrow.

Leon Jackson is switching on Hull's lights too, the busy boy! Not that I'll be going!

Shayne Ward is doing Cheshire Ooaks, think it's tonight. There's were signs all over when we were there last weekend.

Same Difference are doing ours tomorrow night - busy little bees that they are. <cynic> Do you think they've got a CD to promote then? Their 1 year handcuff deal with the X Factor people is obviously at an end so their management are probably going to flog them to death over the next few months - lets see if they're still smiling at the end of it ?

We've got Journey South I think. Are they an X Factor group? We also have the young girl who won the swimming gold medals at the paralympics as she comes from here.

No, we'll have Rick Wakeman as usual I think.

Same Difference are doing Belfast

We had Bad Lashes switch on the Christmas Lights in Plymouth last night. Oh the glamour! "Big hand please, for the first losers on this year's X Factor!" ?

Oh yeah, and a woman from the panto - Linda Lusardi, I think.

Not sure which is worse: has-beens or not-quite-beens ?

Apparently Austin from X Factor and Signature from BGT switched on the Basildon lights last night - what a showbiz affair!

Chris Fountain from Hollyoaks is doing the ones in Swindon plus "local sporting stars"

Apparently Lemar turned on Birminghams Christmas Lights a week ago. First I've heard ...

Nessa and bryn from gavin and stacey. Only men aloud and the tweenies were at our switching on of the lights in cardiff

We had Jonathan Wilkes [who? I hear you ask] switch one one lot last night.

Next week Phil 'the power' Taylor is switching on another lot.

Think an x factor finalist would be better.

In Watford we have Amy Connelly turning the lights on...the girl that didnt get through to the final 12 on x factor and kept crying...

Well Southend had The Chuckle Brothers this evening! My 2 year old wasn't impressed by 2 old men

We've got 'Star Olympic Champion Jamie Staff and Snow White from the panto (Honey from Eastenders)' apparently.

We have Andrew Merry from X factor turning on ours?

Leon Jackson did Paisley's lights earlier today!

My mum called me last night to tell me - she was very excited as she loves Leon!

I'm not a fan and live in Northern Ireland now so I'm not sure why I needed to know this!!

I'm sure it'll be our Mayor that does our lights next week - same as usual I think, we've never went cos 1) K was too young and 2) S worked Saturday's until 7.30pm so if its dry we'll go along and watch the fire work display.

Luv Victoria

Ours are being switched on on Thursday by a 'special surprise guest'. I wonder if the council are currently hunting around, frantically trying to find some Z list celeb who is available to do them. Anyone want to take a guess who it will be and I will update on Friday ?

Orville The Duck?

Emu?

Sooty & Sweep? (I'm showing my age now)

Maybe you'll be really lucky and get Brangelina or Take That or they may even pluck you out of the crowd to do it!!?

We had Chico! To be fair, he did loads of songs, we really got our money's worth ?

We get pingu too, where are you?

Yea this is right! I'm a bit excited! i live not far from the merry hill centre, i go there quite a lot, i've just checked the website and he is indeed turning on the lights, This thursday coming Heart FM are there from 4pm then Peter is performing live at 6pm, just got to get someone to come with me now as i know the husband wont be interested.
