With The X Factor preparing to return to our TV screens next month and the judges packing their suitcases to head off to their luxury houses, we thought it was time for a bit more gossip from the show! We’ve already revealed some of the format changes plus a brand new boy group formed at bootcamp. Read on for some information about the Overs and Girls categories…
A new 5 piece boy band has been formed at The X Factor bootcamp, according to show sources. The new group – who are currently without a name – have been formed from 5 guys who auditioned for the show as solo artists. It is understood the judges formed the new group to help out the groups category, which is traditionally the weakest of the four.
This year will see EIGHT acts go through to the judges houses stages of the competition to help make Cheryl and Dannii’s decisions “easier and fairer” for both them and the contestants. Furthermore another format change will see the ‘Over 25s’ category become the ‘Over 28s’, with those aged under 28 now joining the Boys and Girls categories.
A number of this year’s X Factor hopefuls have reportedly ‘run rampage’ at the bootcamp hotel. According to News Of The World, who never exaggerate stories, more than twenty wannabes “destroyed” property and stripped naked throughout the Premier Inn near to Wembley Arena.
Olly Murs, as you may remember, came second in last year’s X Factor contest, and is now about to release his first single. Called ‘Please Don’t Let Me Go’ this summer tune sounds very Jason Mraz mixed with Robbie Williams, and dare we say it: it’s not actually completely terrible. Read on for the video…
New ‘Daybreak’ presenter Christine Bleakley is reportedly being lined up to replace Dermot O’Leary as X Factor host from next year. The 31-year-old, who recently defected from the BBC to ITV, is expected to join the show next year as part of her new £4million deal with the broadcaster.
Show bosses are aiming for all of this year’s finalists to be able to have a genuine music career. According to tabloid reports, sob stories, novelty acts and imitation groups are being axed in favour of quirky singing sensations. Later today the remaining hopefuls will find out if they’ve made it to judges’ houses.
An official weekly X Factor magazine will begin being published from this September, it has been confirmed. Publisher Haymarket Network won the rights to print the weekly addition to the TV show, which will at first be available exclusively in Tesco’s shops before being rolled out nationwide.
