The Latin heart-throbs will sing Reggaetón Lento (Remix), their collab with Little Mix, on X Factor.
And CNCO, a play on the Spanish word for five, can’t wait to finally meet pop’s finest girls.
Joel Pimentel told me: “We want to party with them and go to dinner.
"We have only met Jade, so we hope to have a good time, just chill and vibe.

"Jesy showed some cool Latin moves in the video, we will try and do something like that in the finale.”
CNCO are precisely what X Factor has been missing this year, and they are already being hailed as the new One Direction.
They were signed by Simon Cowell after emerging on the Spanish language X Factor-style show La Banda.
Richard Camacho said: “Simon is watching us so we will be more nervous this weekend.
“It’s our first time in the UK, but we sat down with Simon in LA and played our music and planned for the future. He told us to have fun and enjoy the UK.”
They are more than happy with 1D comparisons.
Joel added: “Fans try and get into our cars and hide in air vents to see us. They call us the Latin One Direction and it’s an honour.
"We will finally meet Louis Tomlinson on X Factor, too.”
Little Mix sexiest pictures
But it was Little Mix who helped open the door in the UK by re-recording their Latin No 1 Reggaetón Lento in English.
Richard explained: “Little Mix heard our song and they killed it, we thank them.”
They sing on Sunday’s show.

Idris Elba was pretty pleased to see American Cardi B at the MOBOs.
The actor admitted he will spin her hit Bodak Yellow when the clock strikes 12 on New Year’s Eve.
But Idris, who won the Paving The Way gong, preferred supporting homegrown talent.
He said: “UK music’s celebrated all over the world in a way like never before. I feel very proud of that.”

Jay Sean has been missing in action recently – but he’s making a comeback.
He spilled: “My brand new single is called What You Want and features Davido.”
Jay also reckons Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding will boost the nation.
He said: “It adds to the cultural diversity of this country – that’s a brilliant thing.”
And Big Shaq is also chuffed. The Man’s Not Hot star added: “Big up Meghan and Harry, I’ll be there! “I’m gonna perform for royal wedding you!”

A Clean Break
Clean Bandit's long-awaited second album will be a New Year treat.
Grace Chatto told Fault magazine: “I think the fi rst album was a lot more light-hearted.
“While our second album, with the lyrics anyway, are more serious.
“Some of them are about breaking up, like I Miss You and Tears, which will both be on the album. The music is still quite dancey.”
Bassist and saxophone player Jack Patterson added: “It just takes us so much longer to create each piece of music.
“But our second one is nearly done – hopefully early next year.”

Daisy in scar Wars
The pressure of making Star Wars movies has caught up with actress Daisy Ridley.
The Brit has full-blown night terrors these days: “I wake up and scream.”
Despite the success of The Force Awakens she is worried what fans will think of sequel The Last Jedi, which opens on December 14.
She told Rolling Stone: “It was all so insane, it felt like a dream. “I remember saying to director Rian Johnson: ‘I am so f***ing neurotic on this one.’”
