X Factor Finalists Help For Heroes Charity Single - not the greatest of songs...but who cares!
Unless you have been living on the Moon for the last week or so you will be aware that The X Factor has done something rather surprising and rather good. They have released a single with ALL (my understanding) profits going to a very worthy charity.
