That doesn't look like The X Factor set! Dermot O'Leary and Nicole Scherzinger enjoy a pint in Corrie's Rovers Return ahead of the Live Final

Visiting the set of Coronation Street, the two got behind the bar of the Rovers Return and pulled themselves a pint.
With beaming grins on their face, Dermot and Nicole were definitely a far cry from the normal punters gracing the traditional pub.
Wrong set: Nicole Scherzinger and Dermot O'Leary pay a visit to the Rovers Return as they prepare for the X Factor final in Manchester
However, the pair looked a little at odds with each other when it came to their attire.
Dermot looked ready for a ball in a black and white tuxedo, whilst Nicole was more casual yet festive in a Christmas jumper.
Tweeting about their impromptu visit, Nicole made a joke along with a snap of her and the X Factor presenter: 'Oh just another day at the office...'
Festive cheer: Nicole wore a Christmas jumper whilst Dermot looked typically dapper in a Tuxedo
Pout: Just another day at the office for Nicole and Dermot
Derby; Not wanting to show preferential treatment to either of Manchester's football teams, Dermot travels with a City and United escort along Coronation Street
For Dermot though, he got a bit more of a treat from a flank of Manchester City and United fans creating an escort around him as he left the set.
And not making time to get changed, the newly married presenter headed over to The X Factor set to watch the contestants rehearse ahead of the weekend's shows.
Just like last year, the final acts will perform a duet with their mentor which means Nicole will be singing twice whilst Gary will be crooning the one time with Christopher Maloney.

Mentor support: Nicole will sing with both James Arthur and Jahmene Douglas in the live show
Pressure: Former Asda worker Jahmene will share the stage with his mentor as well as see Rihanna, One Direction and Rita Ora perform over the weekend
Christopher, Jahmene Douglas and james Arthur have been asked by producers to keep their heads down whilst they stay in the northern city with concerns over the amount of fans ready to mob them if they head out in public.
But according to the Daily Mirror, the fans were more fixated on Nicole's contestant with rumours that the show's producers faked scenes to make it look like Christopher had more support than believed.

Whilst the final three continue with their preparation, the fallen acts from the last 10 weeks returned to the show to get ready for their group performance.
Rylan Clarke, Ella Henderson and Kye Sones reacquainted themselves with each other over a coffee outside The X Factor studios.
And Melanie Masson looked cheery and ready to perform again with her fellow contestants.
