The first set of hopefuls audition in front of the judges in a closed room environment hoping to gain a place in the next phase of the competition. Those hoping to impress include Chloe Jasmine, Blonde Electric, Natalie McIntosh, Christain Grace, Jordan Pass and Reece Bibby.
Each X Factor judge is in charge of a different section of singers on the show. The judges do not know what section of the competition they will be in charge of until the audition process has finished. Each judge then has to pick four acts to take forward to the live section of the show. Each week the two acts with the lowest amount of public votes have to sing again in a final showdown after which the judges decide who should be eliminated. Once there are only five acts left remaining it becomes left to the public to decide who should go.
