In 2008, Candyman was covered on "I'd Do Anything" by Niamh Perry, Samantha Barks and Jessie Buckley in the seventh week of the series, in "The Battle of the Nancys". However, there were lyric changes due to the family-orientated nature of the series - notably, "He's a one stop shop, makes the panties drop" was changed to "He's a one stop shop, really hit the spot". That same year the song was covered by Alexandra Burke during the third week of the live show round of the fifth season of British television singing contest "The X Factor".
