Marcus Collins will perform with X Factor mentor Gary Barlow at the Take That star's London gig tonight (December 6), after a throat infection ruled him out of playing yesterday.Barlow is to play the second of two dates at the Royal Albert Hall. He was joined by Olly Murs, Jason Donovan and Lulu for last night's performance.
X Factor finalist Collins was due for a guest slot alongside Barlow, but had to pull out in order to rest his voice. However, the two will now pair up for tonight's show.

The Liverpudlian will join Amelia Lily and Little Mix in Saturday and Sunday's final. The three remaining acts appeared at BBC studios yesterday morning to speak to Radio 1's Chris Moyles.
Collins was wearing a badge saying "I am on voicerest" at the station to explain his quietness on the show.
He is currently scheduled to play a concert and make public appearances in Liverpool on Wednesday.
New tickets for Gary Barlow's show have just been made available to purchase via the Royal Albert Hall website.

Stewart W Lloyd What a load of crap. She totally butchered one of my favourite songs on Saturday. Her voice is weak and has no depth in the softer parts of songs. She is the most overrated xfactor contestant ever and shouldnt be there.

Jacqui ***** i dont get how you can say all that about Misha. straight up challenge for you love - where have YOU seen Misha being bullying? She admitted she'd done stuff she wasnt proud of, can you say you've never made mistakes? don't take things at face value, gosh.

Chris Dudley marcus could be more successful than the other male winners, he has a more unique sound instead of the generic man crap we have had over the years.
