ITV's biggest search for a star is back as The X Factor returns this weekend.

Simon Cowell and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini return alongside new judges Rita Ora and Nick Grimshaw, whilst Olly Murs and Caroline Flack gear up for a season of presenting the main show, with Xtra Factor also being fronted by new faces Melvin Odoom and Rochelle Humes.

Big vocals and knockout performances are promised as the auditionees this year have to tackle five key stages that stand in the way of a life-changing record contract.

Here are three of the big auditions viewers will be able to see on the show this weekend.

The X Factor: Starts Saturday 29 August at 8pm on ITV.
