Author: Alex RossPublished 30th Sep 2019

Rumours have been rife for weeks as to which celebrities will be taking part in Celebrity X Factor, as Simon Cowell announced the plans earlier this year as the original show takes a break from ITV.

Now, with the show set to air in October, bosses have finally CONFIRMED the official line-up, featuring some very famous faces from the world of music, TV and sport.

Check out which celebrities will take part in The X Factor: Celebrity below:

Megan McKenna

Reality star Megan McKenna has ditched her reality roots in recent years to focus on her music career, releasing a country album called 'Story Of Me' in 2018.


Will she impress the judges?

Jenny Ryan

As well as her recent appearance on Celebrity MasterChef, The Chase legend Jenny Ryan showcased her singing talents.

Max and Harvey

British lads Max and Harvey have enjoyed a massive rise in fame thanks to the app musical.ly. Although they've both been performing since they were kids, the duo have now performed to massive crowds across the world.

V5

Social media stars Sofia, Alondra, Laura, Wendii and Natalie have joined forces to create girl group V5.

Kevin McHale

American actor Kevin McHale is no stranger to the music world! Kevin appeared on hit show Glee as Artie Abrams, before landing a music deal with Universal Music Group. Unfortunately, he lost his place on the show in Week 4.

Try Stars

Rugby stars Thom Evans, Ben Foden and Levi Davis have all teamed up to create a Sports Supergroup called Try Stars. Sadly, they left the competition in Week 5 with Vinnie Jones.

Vinnie Jones

After initially pulling out of the show following the tragic death of his wife Tanya in July, Vinnie Jones was invited to the live shows by Simon Cowell, with the former footballer saying, "I'd be honoured, she would love me to do it." Sadly, he left the competition in Week 5 with Try Stars.

Hayley Hasselhoff

David Hasselhoff's 27-year-old daughter Hayley was sent packing after her audition. Hayley failed to impress her mentor Louis Walsh, meaning she didn't make it to the live shows.

Cole and Edwards

Former Strictly dancer Brendan and former Holby City actor Jeremy were also sent home after their initial audition, failing to impress mentor Simon Cowell.

Ricki Lake

Ricki Lake lost her place on the show when she received the lowest votes from the public during the first live show.

Olivia Olson

Despite Simon Cowell telling her she could 'win' the show, Love Actually actress Olivia Olson was sent home during the first live show.

Jonny Labey

Despite getting a 'safe seat' during the first live show, former EastEnders actor Jonny Labey was given the boot in Week Two.

Victoria Ekanoye

After quitting Coronation Street in January this year, soap star Victoria Ekanoye landed a role on Celebrity X Factor, but her time on the show was cut short when she was voted out in the second live show.

No Love Lost

Despite singing some of their original songs on the show, Love Island stars Samira Mighty, Eyal Booker, Zara McDermott and Wes Nelson were given the boot during the third live show.

Martin Bashir

After forgetting his lyrics the week before, the third live show proved the end for broadcasting legend Martin Bashir.

Earlier this month, ITV bosses released an explosive trailer teasing which celebs would be taking part, as well as revealing that Louis Walsh and Nicole Scherzinger will join Simon on the judging panel.
