They are one of the favourite acts tipped to win this year's X Factor.

And boyband 5AM - known as Five After Midnight - got a taste of what their future could hold on Friday, as they mingled with some of the country's top sporting stars at the WWE Live VIP party.

The group, formed by Jordan Lee, Nathan Lewis and Kieran Alleyne, relaxed with Olympic gold medallist Jade Jones at the exclusive bash, ahead of their nerve-wracking live show at ITV studios.

Perks of the job! X Factor group 5 After Midnight got a taste of what their future could hold on Saturday, as they mingled with top sporting stars at the WWE Live VIP party at Wembley Arena

The lads looked every inch the modern boy band in their co-ordinating outfits of grey, black and red as they happily chatted to their fellow guests at the event.

Jordan and Kieran somewhat matched in their looks by both sporting funky vibrant red jackets on top of all-black ensembles and accessorising with gold chains.

The former opted for high-shine bomber while his pal decided on a slick leather biker number, showing off their trendy senses of style.

Meanwhile bandmate Nathan kept things simple in a plain grey T-shirt, hoody and skinny jeans - but jazzed the look up with a quirky grey fedora.

The cheeky boys took plenty of selfies at the event and even appeared to sign autographs as they sipped on a few beers - perhaps to ease their pre-X Factor live show nerves.

The grooving group returned to their usual impeccable form last Saturday with a spooky rendition of Michael Jackson's Thriller - after Simon called their previous performance 'terrible'.

However the boys are still third favourites to win the show, after Matt Terry and Emily Middlemas, and will be battling to maintain their odds on Saturday night with a performance of Say You'll Be There by the Spice Girls.

Mixing with sporting elite, 5AM then got the opportunity to meet and greet Taekwondo expert Jade Jones, who bagged an Olympic gold medal for the sport at both the London 2012 and Rio 2016 games.

The Welsh athlete proudly clad herself in the famous Team GB kit as she smiled for the cameras, with her prized medals hanging around her neck.

Jade picked up her first gold in London 2012 at the age of just 19 - marking Great Britain's first ever medal for the Korean martial art.
