This is it! This is where the Finalists battle out a different theme each week and earn a place to the grand final! But it is down to the public and judges to keep them in!!!
Auditions This is the first gruelling stage in The X Factor elimination process - from thousands upon thousands of hopefuls, where will the judges go to select their very best?
Week 1
It's the start of a new series of The X Factor starting in London, Manchester and Birmingham. So what talent is there around?
Week 2
The auditions move to Birmingham and Cardiff...and the range come from the extremely good, extremely bad...and even extremely rude!
Week 3
And it is time for Glasgow, and more of Cardiff and Birmingham as there's more tension and high drama in the audition room!
Week 4
On to Belfast and Birmingham, the auditions are really showing the really good and really bad contestants!
Week 5
Sheffield, Birmingham and Manchester are the places...but it seems like some really scary places for some of the judges!
Week 6
It's the last week of auditions and what have the final auditionees got to take to reach the Boot Camp stage?
