All set for Strictly Come Dancing and The X Factor live blogs?

The X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing montage
The X Factor and Strictly Come Dancing: a heady weekend of reality TV live blogging awaits ...

John Sergeant will clod across the dancefloor for the final time while another wannabe pop star is booted off The X Factor – another big weekend of reality TV beckons and Organ Grinder will be here to chart it all with two live blogs.

Heidi Stephens will take on Strictly Come Dancing on BBC1 on Saturday, which will feature John Sergeant's farewell trot after his declaration that he would pull out of the show because he might well win it.

Sergeant said he had planned this week's dance around Sophie Ellis Bextor's Murder on the Dancefloor and would finish up firing imaginary bullets at the judges. If he keeps to the plan, it could make a very interesting farewell.

Over on ITV1, Jack Arnott will be your guide to this week's The X Factor, which has been slightly overlooked this week with all the coverage about Strictly. What will they pull out of the bag this week?

Heidi will be here on Saturday between 6.20pm and 7.25pm for Strictly, while Jack will be here on the same evening between 7.25pm and 8.55pm for the main X Factor performances and then again from 9.55pm to 10.40pm for the result.

If you can't wait that long, head over to our Strictly and X Factor pages for all the latest news.
