"Simeon Dixon and Charlie Rundle, aka MK1, stormed the stage on Saturday&amp;#039;s (October 6) X Factor, impressing with their mash-up of &amp;#039;Champions&amp;#039; and &amp;#039;Everyone&amp;#039;s a Winner&amp;#039;. The boy-girl duo stood out among the boybands and power ballads at the weekend and were dubbed the &amp;quot;new N-Dubz&amp;quot; by Louis Walsh, a man who knows a thing or two about urban music (possibly). Watch our interview with MK1 below:  Digital Spy caught up with Charlie and Simeon to talk about their musical expertise (guitar, piano, grade 8 drums), ask why they took on The X Factor (&amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s a different look this year and it&amp;#039;s become more credible&amp;quot;) and find out what was happening backstage last weekend (&amp;quot;It was absolutely mental!&amp;quot;). The pair also spill some gossip about their relationship with their mentor &amp;quot;Uncle Lou&amp;quot;. &amp;quot;Louis Walsh understands what we&amp;#039;re trying to do. And for him we&amp;#039;re a breath of fresh air,&amp;quot; says Simeon. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re going to teach him some more stuff about rap... By the end of the series he&amp;#039;ll be ready to rap.&amp;quot;  Charlie jokes: &amp;quot;We started his urban lessons yesterday.&amp;quot; The X Factor continues on Saturday night with a &amp;#039;Love &amp;amp; Heartbreak&amp;#039; theme. Watch MK1&amp;#039;s first performance below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
