"I have a feeling we'll be seeing you in three weeks for the final," he told Dalton as he heaped praise on the solo singer.

But while viewers agreed at how Dalton's performance was, they couldn't believe the final was just three weeks away.

Ten contestants remain in the competition meaning the show will have to have double eliminations every week until the date and still have four acts remaining at the end.

Viewers flocked to social media to share their shock at the early finale, not being able to believe the show is taking place over such a short period of time.
