YAY
X Factor UK started filming the auditions in Manchester today and the Season 11 judges finally took their seats behind the blue desk. Host Dermot O’Leary and the new Xtra Factor host Sarah-Jane Crawford also appeared on the red carpet.
Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh are 3/4 of X Factor UK’s best judging panel – Season 5-7 panel. Simon and Cheryl are back after 3 seasons of absence and Louis changed his original plan to retire after 10 full seasons on the panel so he could reunite with them. Dannii Minogue was the 4th judge back then, but now she is a judge on X Factor Australia, so Scary Spice Mel B took the last chair.
Buffed and polished. Now all we need are 4 feisty opinionated judges….. #xfactor pic.twitter.com/xIZCjmksj5
