JLS joining Little Mix, Marcus Collins, Kitty Brucknell and Janet Devlin on X Factor 2012 tour?

It seems that the X Factor 2012 tour will include performances not just from stars of the most recent series of the show, but also contestants from years gone by.

Today, both Aston Merrygold and Marvin Humes of JLS fame were pictured at rehearsals for the nationwide tour, along with singers including Marcus Collins, Janet Devlin, Johnny Robinson, Little Mix and Kitty Brucknell.

We can’t help but wonder if their apparent inclusion in the upcoming concerts, is because Simon Cowell and show bosses think that there isn’t enough star power within the group of contestants from the 2011 series and want to ensure that this year’s tour is as big, popular and talked about as the last.

After all, both JLS and One Direction were drafted in to add vocals to and appear in the video for the show’s charity single in November and Cowell himself recently admitted that the most recent batch of hopefuls from the ITV show were ‘crappy’ and ‘sub-standard.’
Meanwhile, Misha B took to twitter this evening, to reveal that the practice sessions with her X Factor pals were proving tiring and tweeted:
