Notes	Björn appeared as a guest on talent show The X Factor. Previous guests have been Lionel Richie, Rod Stewart and Tony Bennett. Björn was introduced by Kate Thornton at the beginning of the main show and was shown (pre-recorded) greeting each of the finalists (Nikitta; Eton Road; Robert; Leona; The MacDonald Brothers; Ray; Ben and Ashley) on stage at The Prince of Wales theatre where "Mamma Mia!" is currently playing in London. After listening to each finalist singing a bit of their chosen ABBA song for this week's show, Björn then said a few tactful words about each one. See here for a snippet of what he said. He was then introduced at the beginning of the Results show an hour later where he gave some polite opinions on some the finalists, singling out Ben, Leona and Eton Road. Then as suspected, the cast of "Mamma Mia!" performed "Mamma Mia!" and "Dancing Queen". He was then interviewed briefly on The Xtra Factor
Duration	Programme was about an hour but Björn's total appearance was less than 5 minutes in total across the main and results show.
