This was the moment a stage invader ran onto the X Factor stage to grab five seconds of fame with Honey G.

After the Harrow rapper's performance, while she stood on stage and listened to judges comments, a stage invader stormed the stage.

A grey suit wearing fan grabbed Honey G by the shoulders on ITV 's flagship show, grabbing her hand and mic, while the bemused judges carried on, Mirror online reports.

Nicole and Simon looked a little concerned, while Sharon laughed and Louis simply carried on talking, ignoring the unexpected guest.

During this week's show, the audience was introduced to the star's mother. The star visited her mother as she prepared for Louis Loves week on the X Factor.

Despite a bit of a hit and miss performance of the track - which was mixed with Rick James' tune Super Freak - the controversial star still got a standing ovation.

The judges were divided, but Simon Cowell encouraged her to regroup for her performance of Push It and Black Beatles and prove why she's still there.

"Come back believe you're a star," he urged her.
