    Beyonce will reportedly appear on the X Factor final to duet with the 16-year-old aspiring star

    Beyonce Knowles certainly knows how to close a show and it looks as if she’ll be the one to make this year’s X Factor final go with a bootylicious bang.

    Last week she joined her husband, Jay-Z, on stage to finish off his current tour, and her breath-taking arrival forced the rapper to forget his lyrics. Of course, it’s hoped she doesn’t have the same effect on Ella Henderson – the X Factor contestant she’s rumoured to duet with.

    According to The Sun, Simon Cowell is confident Ella will be one of the final three left in the competition and he’s already planning the season finale and roping in Beyonce to help.

    It’s thought the media mogul wants the superstar to sing with the 16-year-old to help draw in audiences and win the current viewing battle against Strictly Come Dancing.

    And she certainly has a lot to live up to; in 2008, Bey sung with Alexandra Burke, paving the way for her to be crowned the X Factor winner.

    Show bosses are hoping Beyonce will deliver the same draw a second time round with a show insider telling the newspaper: ‘The show is still in it’s early stages, but Simon hasn’t wasted any time in trying to line up acts for the final.

    'He wants to get in there before Strictly. 'Ella is the one most likely to sing with Beyonce because hearing their voices together would be just amazing.’
