Check out the hilarious first look of the new X Factor
It's back!
A first look at the new X Factor has been released and we even get a see a hilarious audition which gets the judges raving... yup Simon too!
The new series will see many changes after low ratings last year. There are different hosts, judges and auditions take place in a room instead of on a stage. Show bosses hope the return to the old format will help boost ratings.
With a deal rumoured to be worth £1.5 million, old favourite Dermot O’ Leary is back, replacing last year’s Olly Murs and Caroline Flack.
The judging panel sees the return of some familiar faces too. Louis Walsh, Nicole Scherzinger, Sharon Osbourne and Simon Cowell are now back to put the contestants through their paces.
Speaking ahead of their return, the judges confessed they were excited to be a part of the new show.
Sharon said she was ‘overjoyed’ while Louis joked that Simon had missed him last year.
Singer Nicole tweeted to say she couldn’t wait to be back in her ‘second home’.
Of course there's still the audition process and in this clip we meet one hopeful, Beck Martin, who performs an original song in a bid to impress the judges.
Does it work?
