Ryan was axed by the judges early in the series but was given a second chance by Simon Cowell following a public outcry.
Fifteen acts from the worlds of music, film, sport, television and social media competed for a place in the final and a recording contract.
Footballer-turned-actor Vinnie Jones, journalist Martin Bashir and a group of Love Islanders were among those tested in either the audition or live rounds.
The finale will feature a special performance by The Pussycat Dolls to mark their comeback, 10 years after they split.
The X Factor: Celebrity final airs on ITV at 7.10pm.
