X Factor Tie Watch - Live Show 5

Olly Murs clearly took heed of our advice from last week and wore a tie for tonight's live show. Murs donned a black skinny tie as he performed the old classic 'Twist and Shout'.

It was a skinny tie night as host Dermot O'Leary and Irish judge Louis Walsh watched on with thin ties around their necks. We thought Louis looked particularly suave in a super skinny tie.

X Factor Tie Watch - Live Show 4

Only presenter Dermot O'Leary came out of the fourth live show of X Factor 2009 with any credit this evening. The Ties Planet team were sad to see O'Leary was the only person who saw it appropriate to dress up and wear a tie for the blockbuster show.

Dermot looked dapper as always in a plain skinny tie. Should you want to look equally smart, Tiesplanet.com has a huge range of skinny and narrow ties for you to choose from.

Oh, and just a quick word for Olly Murs... please keep the chest hair out of sight next week! It's not like you don't have plenty of ties to choose from at Tiesplanet.com!

X Factor Tie Watch - Live Show 1

The Ties Planet team's eyes were wide open last night as the first live show of this year's X Factor competition took place. As usual we were keen to see which smart chaps (or indeed chapesses) wore ties.

It was a Robbie Williams influenced night with Olly Murs and John & Edward making it into our good books. 25 year old singer Murs wore a square-end skinny tie for his performance of She's The One.

Controversial duo John & Edward pleased us also (or at least one of them did) by sporting a fetching skinny tie for their version of Rock DJ. Will they survive tonight's first public vote though?

Host Dermot O'Leary as usual looked smart in fitted suit and skinny tie... and to top off an excellent evening's viewing, the star of the show, Simon Cowell wore a sharp wide black silk tie.
