X FACTOR stars JLS have their fingers crossed for two pals who appear live for the first time this week.
The lads have been coaching Ricky Lonely and Rachel Adedji - fellow contestants from last year when they finished second.
Marvin Humes said: "We hope Ricky does well. We met him at boot camp last year. He has to make it through as he's learnt a lot since then."
Oritse Williams added: "Rachel and I bonded. She was like a little sister. She already looks like a pop star and I really want her to go through."
Ricky has Cheryl Cole as a mentor, who's nervous as she's never worked with Boys before, and Rachel is part of a strong line up of girls this year, in Danni ( Team Minogue's ) category.
