X FACTOR returns! And this time it's a CELEBRITY edition ***8.35 Sat***

[Raahh]

So, after all those years of watching wannabes trying to become somebodies, Simon has decided the way to go is to basically take a bunch of celebs and see if they can sing.

I've a feeling we've seen something like this before.

Tonight's auditions are in Malibu, and the first bunch of celebs are

Journalist, Martin Bashir, Quiz show champion, Jenny Ryan (is she off the Chase? )and Model and Actress, Hayley Hasselhoff.

Glee Actor, Kevin McHale, The Islanders, made up of former Love Island contestants Samira Mighty, Zara McDermott, Wes Nelson and Eyal Booker; and Social Media Stars and CBBC Presenters Max and Harvey.

Another group act 'Try Star' - rugby stars Ben Foden, Thom Evans and Levi Davis - and Professional dancer, Brendan Cole and actor, Jeremy Edwards who form Cole and Edwards.

I am not sure I know who most of these people are. But I don't watch Love Island. Maybe it is stretching the 'Celebrity' label a bit

I'll still get sucked in to watching , probably.

I've got vodka. If all else fails .

Wish you better Raahh!
Sounds nasty.
So, what's the format this week? Does anyone know?!

Get well soon! dillite!

Stones are evil. I've had a couple this year year so know the drill. Fortunally, I have a check up at urology this week (postponed from last week) so will get things looked at.

Oh, here we go!

I really do not want a reminder of how awful it was last week. Thank you, but let's just dive into this week's horrors.

Evening all, would like to say I’m looking forward to this evenings entertainment but that would be a lie.

I think it's just the next lot to sing, who didn't sing last week. I can't even work out, how many there are altogether.

It's a flashback!

Aargh once was enough!

Oh, thank you for clearing that up for me, Dermott.

Who couldn’t be there?

She must be in her late 30's? Looks amazing

Nancy , we are here! That's all you need. Plus nice views of Malibu!
It's the love actually girl!
' ok, Ant or Dec' : love that film.

I am an out cast on MN for being one of the few people who will inashamedly admit they like Love Actually.

It's always on the 'most hated' film threads.

I will go out on a limb and say it was the Fonz that couldn't be there.

Raahh, it makes me cry : I do like that film. I know mumsnetters hate it.
The music in it is also good.

One note

She's very screechy

I’ve never even seen love actually, Hugh Grant winds me up

Aargh, I've had to pause it while DH has a bath, but there are so many adverts I can fast forward through, I'll catch up, I'm sure.

The girl from Love Actually is next up- I hope she's good.

I don't like Love Actually. So many annoying things happen.

Kids are asleep, husband has gone out for beers, I could watch anything I want but should I watch this?!

Oh, who's missing, did you say?

Nancy neither have I. For the same reasons. Also I hate romantic movies.

She sounds better because the backing track is louder and so are the backup singers.

No you should not Elmo but you will anyway like the rest of us

Beyond random celeb.

Simon can barely summon the enthusiasm to speak!
