Mark Sidaway - producer - revealed the switch on Twitter, writing: "Just leaving a song meeting with all the judges. Okay, hold into your hats, we may have a theme change #xfactor.
"Disco just died. We've a new theme coming... (sic)"
The X Factor's official Twitter confirmed the new theme in a series of tweets: "@SimonCowell, @CherylOfficial,@OfficialMelB, Louis and the producers have agreed a new theme based on two iconic acts #xfactor #newtheme.
"The #newtheme is... Queen versus Michael Jackson. Tune in 8pm Saturday night @itv #xfactor. (sic)"
