Beyoncé 'signs for one-off ITV music show after X Factor'
Beyoncé, fresh from her Glastonbury triumph, has reportedly agreed to appear in a one-off, hour-long show on ITV1 after the X Factor semi-final in December. The former Destiny’s Child star will perform her biggest hits and new material in the Beyoncé Music Special which will be hosted by X Factor USA presenter Steve Jones. ‘Beyoncé is one of the hottest international stars around right now and ITV are thrilled to get her,’ a source told The People. ‘To land her for an exclusive show is a massive coup. They are confident it will be a huge ratings success.’ The singer was rumoured to have been asked to return to ITV’s X Factor talent show by her former bandmate Kelly Rowland, who will be judging the series. She previously performed in the 2008 final alongside the eventual winner of that series, Alexandra Burke. It has not yet been confirmed if she will be appearing on the X Factor show.
