X Factor viewers were shocked last night when an unexpected visitor joined Honey G on the stage after her performance – and no, it wasn’t Calvin Harris again.

The show’s only rap artist is said to have been left shaken after a prankster ran on stage and, invading her personal space, tried to take the mic from her.

Cameras quickly cut away from the stage, leaving viewers at home unaware of what was going on.

Simon Cowell and the rest of the judging panel looked shocked as security rushed to the stage to pull the men away.

It has since emerged that the man behind the 'prank' was none other than convicted criminal Daniel Jarvis, the internet prankster behind the fake robbery of the National Portrait Gallery and the Tate Modern in London, in 2015.

Jarvis went on to serve a total of 72 weeks in jail, alongside four others.

Even more shockingly, Daniel took to his Facebook page just before the live show started last night, to inform followers that he and his team were making their "X Factor debut today” and encouraged people to tune in.

Honey G came back and performed a second song after the incident, but it is said that she was left shaken after the ordeal.

We had to do a serious double-take when we found this invention, but it will genuinely lighten your hair in SECONDS. 

The blonde wand by Pravana looks like a hair straightener but is engineered specifically for processing hair dye quickly, to reduce damage caused by the colouring process.

 

You use this device by applying the brand's Light Créme Lightener, and then place the highlights in foils (like a normal lightening process).

Then you simply glide the wand over the foiled pieces of hair, and BOOM – you're blonde. 

 

Pravana says that the wand is capable of lightening your hair a whopping seven levels in just 10 seconds… impressive, right?

 

One of the best things about the wand is that it limits the damage done to your hair, which is pretty major for anyone who has ever used bleach in their locks. 

The blonde wand will be available in certain salons, and we sort of want one! 

Blondes have more fun, right?

We love reading about exciting new food trends, so when we first heard about flowering marshmallows we were very excited (and confused).

Fancy-pants New York bakery, Dominique Ansel (the inventor of the cronut), has launched a special new hot chocolate – with a twist.

Called the 'blossoming hot chocolate', this warm beverage comes with a pretty marshmallow on top of it.

Picture: Ellen Scott/metro.co.uk

The marshmallow is held together with a thin piece of white chocolate, so when it is dropped into the hot drink, the chocolate melts. 

You can now get hot chocolate topped with a blooming marshmallow flower

This basically allows the flower to beautifully bloom inside the cup… making it the prettiest drink of your life.

It is worth noting that aside from the gorgeous marshmallow, the hot chocolate is DELICIOUS, but extremely rich and chocolatey! 

How PRETTY, though.

And now, for the most bizarre story of the day…

Eagle-eyed Ed Sheeran fans may have noticed the singer has been sporting a nasty-looking cut on his face of late, and wondered where exactly it came from.

Well, that cut has THE BEST back-story, EVER.

According to reports, Princess Beatrice slashed Ed’s face with a ceremonial sword while ‘mock’ knighting James Blunt!

We’re not even joking, right now!

According to the Mirror, Ed and James Blunt were two of around 20 guests invited around to the Duke of York’s stately home, for a dinner party hosted by Beatrice.

Apparently, James Blunt joked about getting knighted, and Bea was only too happy to indulge.

Yep, off she went to fetch the CEREMONIAL SWORD, and gave it a swing behind her head.

Unfortunately, what Beatrice didn’t realise was that Ed Sheeran was standing behind her – and he got a right old whack in the face from the sword.

Ed was brought to hospital, where nurses tended to a cut on his right cheek.

A source told the Mirror: “He could have been blinded. Beatrice was deeply upset and inconsolable.”

I mean, where do we even begin with this one?!

MAC Cosmetics' range is known for its highly-pigmented, creamy and vanilla-scented lipsticks.

Many shades have become cult products, and the makeup moguls at MAC have decided to immortalise them in scent.

Shades like Ruby Woo, Velvet Teddy, Candy Yum-Yum, Heroine, Lady Danger and Creme de Nude have all been chosen for the collection.

The MAC Shadescents are designed to capture the personality of your favourite lippie.

The collection plays on the concept of synaesthesia; the mixing up of the senses that allows some people to see sounds or hear colour – or smell colour, in this case.

Ruby Woo will be inspired by "deep red leather" (sounds very Fifty Shades) while Candy Yum-Yum will be reminiscent of fairground candyfloss.

"We have a fanbase attached to certain lipstick shades," MAC's senior vice president and group creative director, James Gager, explained to Elle.

When developing a concept for a new scent collection, the creative directors were inspired by their existing shades rather than going with a celebrity face or novelty gimmick.

The scents are dropping on December 8, just in time for Christmas.

When artist Justin Crowe’s grandfather passed away, he decided he needed to honour the memories he had with him in a new way.

The ceramicist started a project, in which he took the bones of 200 people, ground them up and made a dinnerwear set called Nourish.

Inspired by the venture, Justin began making custom orders for people who wished to infuse the memory of their loved ones into an everyday object.

His business, called Chronical Cremations, permeates the ashes of the deceased into "memorial objects" including jewellery, coffee mugs and candle holders.

Justin aims to help people continue to share in the experience of life with their loved ones after they have passed away.

As one customer said to Justin: "I can hardly wait to have coffee with my sister every morning. I miss her beyond words." 

To avail of Justin's unique service, all you have to do is choose your memorial object, ship off a specific amount of your loved one's ashes, and allow Chronical Creations to get to work.

The ashes are collected, ground into a fine powder, and added to a glaze mixture including clay and other materials, or mixed in with the clay itself.

While this memorial method is definitely unconventional, it is undoubtedly comforting to those who wish to remember the deceased in the warmth of a cup of tea or a vase of flowers, rather than more traditional methods.

A pub in Clonakilty, Co. Cork will be able to operate a loyalty card service for its customers, despite strong opposition from gardaí and other publicans.

Molly’s Bar plans to run the scheme during its three-year lease, under publican Michael Cambridge.

The barkeeper claims that the scheme is no different to those run by local supermarkets and will encourage people to enjoy a drink in the pub rather than at home.

The application was opposed by gardaí, and the local vintners’ association said it was arranging a meeting with local Fine Gael TD Jim Daly to urge the Government to close what it deemed a loophole, according to the Irish Examiner.

Eamonn Fleming, Michael Cambridge's solicitor, said there was no legal reason to prevent the granting of the licence.

He also said that Mr Cambridge would be able to keep a record of how much alcohol was consumed by any customer using the loyalty card, and that this could be helpful to gardaí.

“Loyalty cards are available in supermarkets, why should there be a prohibition on a publican doing the same thing?” he said.

Judge James McNulty granted the licence but said that he had doubts as to whether the scheme would encourage trade at Molly's Bar

Similar schemes have been marginally successful in the UK.

We're wondering if two-for-one cocktails are included in the deal…

Ladies, allow me to introduce you to Nike’s STUNNING limited edition rose-gold runners!

Rose-gold has, without a doubt, been the colour of the year, and we are still madly in love with it!

So naturally, when we saw that Nike were releasing a special pair of limited edition runners, we nearly passed out with excitement. 

The shoes were created in partnership with American store Bandier, and will be available to buy in the Bandier outlets across the US. 

THANKFULLY, the runners will also be available online, so we won't be missing out!

These metallic beauties will set you back €110, which is expensive… but look how PRETTY!

We are definitely popping a pair of rose-gold Nikes on our Santa list!

Buckfast is the drink that slays us all. One or two glasses (maybe three), and you're the life of the party; but if you go beyond that, boy, are you going to have a raging hangover in the morning.

Well, the drink company has created a new cocktail just for Christmas, and it has intrigued us greatly.

The Velvet Elvis is usually made with Jack Daniel's, raspberry liqueur and 7Up, but the Buckfast version is ten times easier to make.

All you have to do is pour 175ml of Prosecco into a champers glass, and top it off with 10ml of Buckfast.

We're totally going to be drinking this on New Year's Eve.

Well, he kept this one quiet enough.

Zayn Malik took to Snapchat last night and teased an image from ZDay with the caption, "zaynmalikstore.com."

And it wasn't just any old teaser to something coming in the future, it was a link to his new online shop.

The fancy AF website is home to more than 30 pieces of 'ZAYN' merchandise… and it's actually pretty cool.

Arabic Military Jacket

Not your average tour T-shirts and hoodies (although there are a few of those), the online shop also includes fab bomber jackets (with Zayn's name in Arabic), tops, hats, stickers and even a stick-on tattoo set.

There are sections for women and men, as well as outerwear, accessories and more, so it looks like he really put a lot of thought into it.

There's a sale on Cyber Monday (November 28), so if you fancy nabbing something with Zayn's beautiful face on it, this is the place to go.
