September 22, 20195 yr Megan McKenna can actually sing! She also knows Simon doesn’t she as she’s done BGT and regular X Factor before. I’m interested in seeing how this goes though. I wonder what the fee was for people to do it. Is the Angie from Corrie actress still in the show I recognised her straight away but I feel I haven’t seen her for ages in Corrie. Yeah she was on BGT with her friend as a duo, she did also audition for XF in like 2012 and didn't get through oops, I don't think it was televised though! She's got so much better since tbf. No she left a while ago, I think it was the beginning of this year or so?
September 22, 20195 yr A really poor line up! I feel like I'll be stanning Megan and literally no one else.
September 22, 20195 yr I’m actually quite excited for this. I think it has potential to be good . Edited September 22, 20195 yr by troylovesmusic
September 23, 20195 yr According to a interview Dermot did last week it’s gonna be 2 eps/weeks of auditions and then 6 or 7 live shows.

She's got so much better since tbf. No she left a while ago, I think it was the beginning of this year or so? I remember Megan saying Cheryl was her mentor wasn’t she! And she didn’t get a chair during the challenge. She’s a great singer but unfortunately as good as she is I can’t see her having a serious music career. People will always see her as the one who kicked off constantly in CBB, and she was even worse on Ex On The Beach :lol: Her exit was so low key. I thought she was just going on holiday after the whole her husband really works in a gift shop saga but she just didn’t come back. Can’t say I miss her on the show. She’s probably a great actress but they had her play an absolutely atrocious part. I want her to come back as part of the Bailey family to redeem herself :lol: Edited September 23, 20195 yr by Jordan Lee
September 23, 20195 yr Oh oops the other soapstar is Johnny Labey as rumoured not Luke Jerdy, Joseph dead x I remember Megan saying Cheryl was her mentor wasn’t she! And she didn’t get a chair during the challenge. She’s a great singer but unfortunately as good as she is I can’t see her having a serious music career.

She’s probably a great actress but they had her play an absolutely atrocious part. I want her to come back as part of the Bailey family to redeem herself :lol: I don't think she even got to Six Chair, we definitely never saw her on TV on XF afaik! I think she has the most potential out of the bunch on paper, especially in a country niche, I think she just needs a proper chance and a push rather than the just about there and fine enough songs that she had on her album. I suppose the rugby daddies man-band could have an ok selling mothers day cover album :lol: Honestly I can just as easily see Vinnie Jones winning and this being a total disaster, but I'm excited for it much more than I would be for a normal series because it's something different and I can't wait to see Jenny and Megan who I really like on it. Well I suppose on paper the girlband could have potential, but I think they're the biggest scraping of the barrel I've ever seen on a celebrity show so I doubt people will vote for them at all unless they're undeniably incredible.
September 25, 20195 yr Vinnie Jones is gonna get a lot of "OMG HE CAN SING!!!!!" housewives votes. Guarantee it. It'll be the whole people expect him to be God awful, like a 2 out of 10, but ends up being a 5 out of 10 but getting universal praise coz they're "shocked" he can just about sing. :lol: Ugh. Megan is gonna be the big shock early exit, isn't she?
September 30, 20195 yr Vinnie ain’t in it. The line up was announced today!Maybe he’s a surprise of some sort as 15 celebrities were advertised but there’s only 14 acts announced today.
September 30, 20195 yr He got to skip the auditions bc of the death of his wife so he got a pass through to the lives automatically I believe.
September 30, 20195 yr The influencers aren't even particuarly well known! One of them has about 70k followers on Insta
September 30, 20195 yr Those influencers are probably the biggest scrape I've ever seen on a reality show :lol: Surely they could have cobbled together some TOWIE or soap stars for a girlband...
October 1, 20195 yr Early winner predictions? The bookies current early fave are Thom Evans/Ben Foden/Levi Davis 5/1 Thomas Evans, Ben Foden and Levi Davis 6/1 Try Star 15/2 Kevin McHale 8/1 Love Islanders 8/1 Megan McKenna 10/1 Max and Harvey 10/1 V5 12/1 Jonny Labey 12/1 Sofia Alondra, Laura Natali and Wendii 18/1 Victoria Ekanoye 20/1 Brendan Cole and Jeremy Edwards 33/1 Hayley Hasselhoff 33/1 Jenny Ryan 33/1 Ricki Lake 33/1 Vinnie Jones 66/1 Martin Bashir Edited October 1, 20195 yr by Jαsє
October 1, 20195 yr I can't even see anything to suggest to me those girls are even influencers :lol: One look at 3 of their Instagram profiles shows them to be just... Latin musicians who haven't made much of an impact. So strange.
October 1, 20195 yr I'd love to say Megan but she is 1000% gonna be the big shock exit, and I'd love to say Jenny but she screams early exit fodder as much as I know she has a great voice :( I'd say the rugby guys or maybe Jonny (young white attractive male ofc has an easy boost up on X Factor), with the Islanders as potential dark horses, are my gut feeling. The only thing with the latter is, apart from Wes, none of them are the most popular or memorable Islanders from that series. There's a gap in the market for a mixed group, but I can imagine Eyal letting the side down talent wise (I know Samira is incred).
