X FACTOR favourite Grace Davies will perform a homecoming show.

The former warehouse worker from Langho wowed judges with her original song Wolves on Sunday, securing her place in the final.

Grace will compete for the X Factor title alongside Kevin White and Simon Cowell's group Rak Su.

The 20-year singer has been a firm favourite to take the X Factor title since her performance in the opening show of the series.

Ahead of the deciding show on Saturday, Grace will be heading home for a tour of the borough onboard the X Factor battle bus followed by a celebratory performance.

The show will take place in Blackburn’s Cathedral Square at 6pm.

Free wristbands will be available on the day from Cathedral Square for anyone who wants to come along and support Grace.

Cllr Phil Riley, Executive Member for Regeneration said Grace's time on the X Factor will be a 'huge boost for the town'.

He said: "We are delighted for Grace, her talent is outstanding and the town is fully behind her.

"We have been backing Grace by putting posters on the town’s digital screen and bus shelters across the borough, which were shown on Saturday night’s episode.

"We want to help encourage people to vote for our talented songstress and help get Grace win the XFactor title.

"The XFactor crew visited on Friday to look at possible venues for a concert should Grace get through.

"We were keen to showcase the new Cathedral Quarter development where the concert will be staged, weather permitting.

"We also took them to look around King George’s Hall, they were highly impressed by Blackburn.

"The result is a huge boost for the town."

Harriet Roberts, Blackburn BID manager, said,

"It’s fantastic news for the town that Grace is in the X-Factor finals.

"Helping to highlight our award winning town centre to a large TV audience can only be good for our businesses.

"Good Luck Grace."
