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 .

Why is the short TakeThatter sporting a pubestache? Surely he's 4 decades too old for that look?

I need booze

Mark Owen is looking rough these days.
He used to be cute.

If they could influence my teenagers to clean their rooms, I would be up for that.

I imagine they are more 'how to groom your eyebrows' types.

My dog keeps farting, and it is really not adding to the experience

80s I'll bet they have "people" to clean their rooms

Interesting is right Louis

A Corrie one. I don't watch this so no idea who she is.

She's gorgeous.

Is it me, or does she look like Sinitta? Simon will therefore love her

I don't watch Corrie.

And no way, did Louis recognise her.

Yeah, they ' influence' others to clean up their mess! It must be a thing.

Louis couldn't recognise himself in the mirror!

on New Orleans??

It's very slow! She has a nice voice though.

I thought she was going to say there is a house on Coronation Street

Does anyone like her necklace-boob thing?
Not sure if i like it or not, but it is different.

I have been successfully influenced into adding half a pint of rum to my pineapple juice

I love this song. Not so sure about this arrangement.

Jane I would prefer that version.

I'm losing interest in this version.

Where's the story, exactly.

minou we have missed most of performance discussing how she gets that necklace boob thing on!

She was good actually. I didn't think that good singing was part of this series?

That was good!
