Kate is back with the fourth of the audition shows. The judges are split on their decision whether Rachel should be put through and in the end she doesn't make it. Michelle Thorne impresses Simon and makes it through to the next round. The judges are subjected to more awful renditions including one from Kerry who claims to be 48 but the judges think she looks older. Total Eclipse are not happy with Simon's comments and storm out of the audition room. Joanne Hindley and Chenai Zinyuku both manage to impress all the judges and easily make it through to the next round.

The X Factor (UK) Show Summary

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.
