Latest X Factor Auditions

Yesterday the X Factor roadshow moved on to Cardiff, where Cheryl had to put up with constant ribbing from Simon as she arrived looking slightly the worse for wear in a hoodie. Still, she scrubbed up ok in the end, but Simon wasn't going to let her get away with it, telling the crowd she was suffering from a hangover after her birthday celebrations continued. No doubt the usual caterwauling from dodgy contestants did nothing to ease her pain. Thankfully, Pixie Lott was on hand to defend her to Simon - and was apparently a natural at this judging malarkey.

More X Factor Rumours

Apparently Natalie Imbruglia is next on the list as stand-in X Factor judge whilst Dannii is on her maternity leave. Seems that Pixie Lott has had to postpone due to a diary clash and, let's face it, Natalie's diary just seems to revolve around gooseberry dinners with Walliams and his new wife.
Pixie will put in an appearance later in the series, whilst Katy Perry is also in the line-up of Dannii's understudies.

X Factor not resounding success

Apparently Geri's appearance as an X Factor judge went down in Glasgow like a cup of cold sick. Geri may have misjudged the crowd (or her own ability to cope with it) when she refused to put through a young singer called Katie, after Louis and Cheryl put her through. Geri sided with Simon with her casting vote, apparently causing the crowd to jeer her. Geri allegedly stormed off. The nation's sweetheart®, meanwhile, has apparently signed a deal for the US with Will.i.am's record label and has been voted the nation's favourite WAG by Now magazine readers (clearly a bit on the slow side as she can barely be considered a WAG any more). Lovely Louise Redknapp was beaten into second place by Chezza.
Apparently Pixie Lott is next up to have a fash-off with Cheryl / take the spare judge's seat in the X Factor. Let's hope she gets a better reception than Geri (aka Gobby Spice - according to Simon).
