The X Factor: The Band started tonight on ITV and here’s all the auditions for you to watch.
Simon Cowell and Nicole Scherzinger are judges on The X Factor: The Band searching for acts to form groups to be crowned the nation’s new pop sensations.
The pair are joined by a host of music industry stars – including artists Leona Lewis and Ella Eyre as well as super-producer Naughty Boy. The nation’s favourite host Dermot O’Leary also returns to oversee proceedings – and give his legendary hugs to those auditioning.
The X Factor: The Band auditions begin with hopefuls auditioning in Simon’s office at Sony HQ in London where they try out in front of the music mogul, Nicole as well as a panel of advisers who include Naughty Boy – who has worked with stars including Beyonce; multi-platinum selling song-writer Carla Williams and Grammy-winning producers Lil’ Eddie and Fred Ball.
