The 'X Factor' will lose another two contestants this weekend.

The ITV show has announced that its remaining seven contestants will be whittled down to just five in a double elimination.

The 'X Factor' will have a double elimination this weekend, whittling the seven remaining contestants down to just five.

The act with the least public votes will leave tonight (22.11.14) with a sing-off on Sunday (23.11.14), where another act will leave.

Simon Cowell is the only judge guaranteed to have at least one act remaining, following this weekend's double cut.

The 55-year-old media mogul still has three acts in the competition - Ben Haenow, Fleur East and Stevi Ritchie - whilst both Mel B and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini each have just one act remaining, Andrea Faustini and Lauren Platt respectively.

Louis Walsh has two groups left in the competition - eight-piece boy band, Stereo Kicks, and Only The Young.

The remaining seven contestants will sing Whitney Houston or Elton John tracks in a bid to secure their place in next week's show.

This is the show's second double elimination, following on from the Halloween-themed Fright Night earlier this month, which saw Jack Walton and Lola Saunders leave the competition.

Meanwhile, Stevi - who survived the sing-off last Sunday (16.11.14) against Jay James - thinks it's his time to leave the talent competition.

He recently said: "Whether it's Saturday or Sunday, I'll be one of the ones that goes this weekend."
