This year The X Factor will use Twitter to decide which judge gets which category.

Viewers will be asked to vote using the official category hashtags for example #SimonBoys #SimonGirls #SimonGroups #SimonOvers. Voting will start this Saturday during the first episode.

To accompany this new way of voting for the categories The X Factor have created their own emojis which will be used during the vote.

In a recent interview for ITV new judge Rita Ora said she and Nick 'Grimmy' Grimshaw "balance each other out" and they can say what they want to say.

She was also asked about her flirting to which she responded, "I do it as a joke and I think some people think it's serious...if you can handle me flirting then you can handle being on The X Factor". The 'Poison' singer continued, "because I'm very intense and I'm very forward (and) it's very 'get to the point' with me".
