Honey G takes on Vanilla Ice and Queen mash-up in X Factor’s diva week

The X Factor rapper is skating on thin ice,,,

Marmite rapper Honey G will take on a Vanilla Ice and Queen mash-up on tonight’s X Factor as contestants attempt to channel their inner diva.

(Shouldn’t be hard for her…)

Following Freddy Parker’s exit last week, the 10 remaining acts will take on songs from some of music’s biggest selling artists, including Michael Jackson, Adele and Mariah Carey.

A dramatic week off-screen has seen show bosses denying claims the competition was fixed – after a Scottish nightclub announced they were hosting Honey G on the same night as the show’s live final.

The north London rapper will sing Ice Ice Baby during diva week, which is based on the bassline of Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie.

She is set to face a barrage of criticism if she doesn’t deliver more than the hackneyed, ‘I say Honey, you say G!’ line, repeated multiple times over every track she has performed so far.

This drove some viewers potty on last week’s show.

Her fellow Overs contestant Relley C will sing Aretha Franklin’s Natural Woman.

Finnish act Saara Aalto, who has survived the sing-off in the first two weeks, is to perform Bjork’s Oh So Quiet.

Tune in at 8pm on ITV.
