More hopefuls audition in front of the judges hoping to make it through to the next stage of the competition as the auditions hit Wales and London. The judges are not impressed by the efforts of Alan Busby and Tom Idelson and they fail to make it through. Daniel Williams, Lucie Jones and Lloyd Daniels manage to impress the judges and make it through. Pop duo Combined Effort tell the judges that they have recently split up as a couple but the judges manage to get them back together but they don't make it through to boot camp. Jade Fubara manages to impress the judges but Fouad is not so successful.
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.
