It's time to face the six chair challenge - judges categories REVEALED!

With the X Factor auditions done and dusted, we move onto the dreaded six chair challenge.

This year Simon Cowell has introduced a 'Golden X', similar to the golden buzzer we are used to on Britain's Got Talent.

One person per category will be guaranteed a place straight through to the judges' houses.

If the judge likes an act enough and they definitely want to see them at judges houses they’ll press this golden X and give that act a Safe Seat.

We can also reveal the categories each judge has. Simon Cowell has the girls, Robbie Williams the groups, Ayda Field-Williams the over 30's and Louis Tomlinson the boys.

X Factor returns to our screens later this month.
