X Factor has altered this week's theme at the last minute and has brought back the popular Rock Week.

Saturday's show was scheduled to have the acts performing tracks from their idols and musical favourites in a Heroes Week, but due to a last minute production switch, plans have been changed.

Rock Week has proved popular in previous series and last year's edition included a memorable performance of 'Creep' from Wagner, Matt Cardle's 'Nights In White Satin' and Katie Waissel's 'Sex On Fire'.

A source told Digital Spy: "Producers wanted to spice things up a bit for viewers and they thought the return of Rock Week would provide plenty of drama. It will challenge some of the acts, who have had an easy ride so far."

An official X Factor rep said: "The change of theme weeks was a production team decision to take contestants out of their comfort zone. Production regularly change themes late in the day."

Heroes >

I hope they still do Heroes week!

[Smithy]

I don't think they will :/

Otherwise they'd have just left rock week until later on in the series

[Jordan.]

Urgh, this was the worst theme they did last year

[Jords]

It will be interesting to see how most acts cope with this, only Frankie, Misha and Kitty seem really suitable. The latter 2 because they can pretty much do anything anyway.

So basically changed it to suit Frankie

I thought it was Motown week?

[Smithy]

No, reggie posted that with no actual source

Rock Week is always so cringey, I'm guessing we'll be in for more Avril Lavigne and Camp Rock songs ugh.

Sophie did The Calling last week and Janet did Coldplay in week 1. Nothing to worry about.
