Simon Cowell is currently in talks to secure Sir Paul McCartney as the special guest star on The X Factor finale, according to a report. The legendary musician is reportedly in negoatiations with show bosses who are keen to have the former Beatle appear on the programme on December 13.
If Cowell is able to secure Macca's services, the theme for the finale would be Beatles week, says the Daily Mirror.
A source told the newspaper that Cowell believes that securing a performance by Sir Paul for the finale would be a "fantastic" coup.
The insider said: "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."
US singer Mariah Carey is scheduled to perform her new single `I Want to Know What Love Is' on Sunday night's X Factor.
Carey had been due to perform on the BBC show Strictly Come Dancing but she withdrew at the last-minute, prompting claims of "dirty tricks" by Simon Cowell from bitter show bosses.
Cowell claimed that the singer chose The X Factor over Strictly because his show is watched by two million more viewers.
He boasted: "She wants to go where the biggest audience is and who can blame her?"
