THE X Factor's finalists will release a charity single next month - for Great Ormond Street children's hospital.
The 12 acts recorded a cover of Michael Jackson hit You Are Not Alone in the Abbey Road Studios last week.
They will sing it live for the first time on November 15's results show, and the single will go on sale the next day.
Last year, the finalists' cover of Mariah Carey's Hero raised more than £1 million for armed troops' charity Help for Heroes. Show supremo Simon Cowell said: "Following that, we decided we wanted to do something annually on the show to help good causes.
"I'm very proud of the single."
Hospital chief executive Dr Jane Collins said: "Everyone here is extremely excited. We really hope the public will buy it so we can help more sick children from across the UK."
And lung-transplant patient Jade Rowles, 14, who met Alexandra Burke last year, said: "I think it's brilliant that X Factor is supporting the hospital."
