Auditions 5

Auditions 6

Boot camp begins. Simon Cowell and his fellow judges Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh, and Nicole Scherzinger put those hopefuls who made it past the initial auditions through a series of dancing and singing challenges, aimed at weeding out the less-talented candidates.

The Six Chair Challenge returns. The judges must decide on the final six acts in each category to take through to the Judges' Houses stage. None of the hopefuls who secure a seat are safe until everyone in their category has sung. Who will have what it takes to keep hold of their seat and move one step closer to a coveted place in the live shows?

In the first live show of the year the 12 remaining acts compete for the public vote.
