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 .

I only know Rikki Lake so far

Ok, so I haven't a scooby doo who Max and Harvey are.

and they are 16!!

waves at all the familiar peeps
Oh I am definitely looking forward to the bitching...

Dd tells me Max & Harvey are only known for singing?

Oops random bold

No idea who Megan McKenna is.

I like the pool.

Actually LOL at Martin Bashir being in this. Has he had some kind of mid life crisis?!

Martin Bashir???

Oh, please let him win.
Constipated donkey sounds great.

This is a very strange collection of people

I didn't realise Rikki was now 50. I used to love her talk show.

Jenny! She is the best Chaser

Hello all! Turned over strictly to see that my homies are here! What is is then? Celebs singing in a beautiful house and location? All very odd!
How are we all?

nancy it really, really is.

Now this bloke is a singer. As well as being off Eastenders.

I feel so old right now

Famous is a bit of a stretch describing some of this lot

nancy OH's comment on the collection was similar, but more sweary

This is a very strange collection of people

Agree with this it's totally random. I have no idea who half of them are.

Try star? They are hot!

Hey 80s!

Evening 80s!

Are the girl group just nobodies then?

And Olivia is from Love Actually.

Oh this just got weird.

Noisy I’m giving it 20 minutes before I start with the swearing - that time is nearly up

Hello! Summer is over and Si has remodelled the X factor format then? This does look very strange ; big brother with a twist!

See- it's him- he's a ringer.
