The X Factor 2012's finalists have been revealed and are busy preparing for the first live show next weekend, but you can keep up with the progress of Ella Henderson, Jahmene Douglas and the others by following them on Twitter.

This year's X Factor finalists have already made their presence known via social media, taking to Twitter to update us on their progress throughout the competition before they even made it to the live shows.
And some have already proven more popular on the microblogging site than others.
Lucy Spraggan, for example, took to Twitter within hours of her initial audition being screened as her self-penned track Last Night began leaping up the iTunes charts (only to later be withdrawn ahead of her progress in the show). Not that this stopped her from raking in the online support.
And favourite Ella Henderson is also proving popular, having notched up over 102,000 followers as she gears up for her live debut.
However it hasn't all been plain sailing for the finalists, with Rylan Clark revealing that he has received death threats via Twitter since he first appeared on the show.

The Essex model admitted: I've been told I'm going to be bottled and my face sliced open.
'At times it has killed me and it's disgusting - some of these people act like I'm a murderer. It has made going out in public quite daunting.'
While the contestants may have wasted no time making their Twitter mark, it could be a different story during the live shows if Gary Barlow has his way.
The Take That singer and head judge has reportedly suggested that contestants should have their phones confiscated during the live shows, to stop them from spending time on Twitter when they should be rehearsing.

'Last year's contestants spent too much time on Twitter when they should have been concentrating on their songs and performances,' Gary snapped.
Nonetheless, you can still find your favourites with this comprehensive list of the finalists' Twitter accounts.
THE BOYS
