Honey G is set to take part in a live mannequin challenge on ‘The X Factor’ this weekend.
The controversial rapper – who found herself in the bottom two sing-off last weekend in the singing competition with Ryan Lawrie before being saved by judges – is determined to pull out all the stops to make it through the semi finals and has decided to take part in the latest social media craze, which sees people freeze in different positions, during her performance.
And in the hope of making the challenge the highlight of Saturday night’s (26.11.16) show, Honey has persuaded her mentor Sharon Osbourne and judges Simon Cowell, Nicole Scherzinger and Louis Walsh to join in with the the stint, which will be performed as part of the rapper’s set.
A source told the Sun newspaper: "She came up with the amazing idea of doing a ‘Mannequin Challenge’ live on the show and getting all the judges involved. It’s a big risk in front of millions of viewers as it could all go horribly wrong, but if she pulls it off it will be huge."
And Honey G is hoping the risk won’t put her back in the bottom two as she will be in usual competition with her fellow contestants Saraa Aalto – also mentored by Sharon – as well as ‘Five After Midnight’, Emily Middlemas and current favourite Matt Terry, who will be performing their chosen songs from the selection of the ‘Louis Loves’ theme.
