The X Factor is back with new judges, new talent and new dramas…
Expect bust-ups, good singing, awful caterwauling, new judges, sob stories and on-stage drama as the X Factor returns…
It’s that time of the year again (already?) – The X Factor returns to our screens on Saturday 20 August at 8pm on ITV1.
And this year’s contestants give the judges more action and entertainment than ever before as Gary is forced to take to the stage to eject rejects, Kelly mops up tears, Tulisa rows with an angry contestant and Louis finds an Irish singer he doesn’t like (surely not!)…
Get involved
And as well as the usual merry-go-round of singing and drama, there’s a new way for you to get involved in the show. If you have an iPhone, there’s a new ‘Tap to Clap’ app which lets you show your appreciation for contestants, performances, judges’ comments, guest stars and results in real time.
