Boyband JLS organised a date night for all the remaining X Factor contestants earlier this week.

Ortise, Marvin, JB and Aston invited all their fellow singers to share private romantic meals.

Ortise paired off with Ruth Lorenzo, Aston dated Marissa from GirlBand, JB enjoyed the company of Tita from GirlBand, and Marvin shared a meal with Alexandra Burke.

Diana Vickers, Eoghan Quigg, Laura White, Phoebe and Layla from GirlBand, Daniel Evans, Austin Drage and Scott Bruton were also paired off.

The dates were organised to help the group improve their flirting skills, which Creative Director Brian Friedman believes the boys need to work on for Saturday's live show, when they perform with eight female dancers.

The X Factor continues on Saturday at 7.25pm on ITV. The live results show will air at 10.10pm.
