Simon Cowell is reportedly set to give One Direction a big send-off during the X Factor finale.

The music mogul is thought to have prepped an A-list video montage for the boys to celebrate their last TV appearance before their hiatus.

Following the band’s performance on stage on Sunday night’s show, Cowell will surprise the boys with a special video package.

The Sun reports that stars including James Corden, Mariah Carey and Will Ferrell have recorded messages for the boys.

A source told the paper: “Simon knows the boys’ performance this weekend could be one of their last ones ever and wants them to go out in style.

“X Factor is where it all started for them in the first place so it’s the perfect place to do a proper farewell.

“He has managed to rope in some massive names using his connections. It’s a big surprise for the boys and it will make their night even more special.”

Other acts expected to take to the stage this weekend are Coldplay and Adele, although One Direction will be the guests of honour.

Finalists Che Chesterman, Louisa Johnson and Reggie and Bollie will be battling it out to be crowned this year’s winner.
