We recently spent Friday night at the X Factor house with contestants including favourites Matt Cardle and One Direction (pictured) along with another VIP - the Barclays Premier League trophy, on behalf of our client Barclays.
Shortly before the two acts resumed their rivalry on stage the following day, the lads watched their respective teams battle it out on the pitch. In the event it was One Direction who secured bragging rights as Manchester United beat Spurs 2-0.
The trophy has proved something of a lucky charm, as none of the contestants who were photographed with it have yet been voted out. Watch out this week Paije!
