Sharon Osbourne and Hazel Jackson

Sharon Osbourne and Hazel Jackson

Sharon Osbourne meets her doppelganger at this year's 'X Factor' auditions.

The 60-year-old returning judge comes face-to-face with redhead Hazel Jackson from Timperley, north west England, in the first episode of the new series, and the 72-year-old wannabe insists she has been photographed by paparazzi all day after they mistook her for the no-nonsense panellist.

Fellow 'X Factor' judges Nicole Scherzinger, Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh find the pair's likeness hilarious, and Sharon also sees the funny side of it by posing for a picture with her lookalike, who has the same hair colour as her and similar sunglasses.

Following the hilarity, Hazel performs for the judges and Sharon jokes she has a lot in common with her because she can't sing in tune either.

The scenes will air on the new series of the new-look 'X Factor' spin-off 'Xtra Factor', which is hosted once again by Caroline Flack and newcomer Matt Richardson.

During the pair's first show together they hold a street party with several famous faces from 'X Factor' past including Rylan Clark, Christopher Maloney and boy band Union J.

'Xtra Factor' returns on ITV2 on Saturday (31.08.13) at 9.20pm.
