Paul McCartney is reportedly in talks to appear on the X Factor live final next month.

If the singer agrees to perform, the theme for the show would be Beatles songs, The Mirror claims.

An X Factor insider told the newspaper: "The big plan by Simon Cowell is to get Sir Paul for the final, which would be just fantastic.

"Everybody knows the Beatles wrote some of the best songs in history, so it would be a sensational end for the series."

The final show is due to take place on Sunday, December 13.
