This week’s theme is Louis Loves and contestants have to sing two songs.

Honey G will be performing MC Hammer's iconic U Can’t Touch This remixed with Super Freak, by Rick James, for her first song and a mash up of Salt n Pepa’s Push It with Rae Sremmurd’s Black Beatles for her second song.

The Black Beatles song has gone viral since it was adopted as the unofficial Mannequin Challenge song.

Dan Wootton’s Bizarre column revealed that Honey G will be performing her very own Mannequin Challenge live on The X Factor on Saturday night, and she even has the four judges in on the act.

Fans aren’t quite sure how to react to the news.

What is the Mannequin challenge?

The Mannequin Challenge has become the “latest craze” to sweep the internet with Hillary Clinton, Destiny’s Child and even professional sportsmen joining in.

This new online trend sees people uploading videos of them looking as though they've been frozen in time.

Once the clip has been recorded, social media users are sharing the footage with the hashtag #MannequinChallenge.

Adele was left standing still while surrounded by her tour crew and her pals as they wore cowboy hats and adopted "action poses" in a saloon-themed bar.

The video came less than a week after Adele pulled out all the stops as she transformed herself into The Mask – the character made famous by Jim Carrey in the 1994 blockbuster.

Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama proved why she was an extremely cool First Lady as she pulls a Mannequin Challenge poses with NBA basketball stars such as LeBron James.
