X Factor battle bus for Fleur East, Ben Haenow and Andrea Faustini after making final

The X Factor laid on three battle buses for Fleur East, Ben Haenow and Andrea Faustini after they made the final of the show this year.

The three 2014 X Factor finalist were waved off on their nationwide tour to drum up support for next week’s final by Dermot O’Leary after the results show tonight.

The concept of the battle bus was first used on Pop Idol when Mark and Michelle McManus toured the UK for Pop Idol 2.

Dermot asked everyone to keep a look out for the buses and if you spot one, take a selfie and post it to #XFbattlebus on Twitter. The buses all have the face of the contest in the bus painted on the side.
