Simon Cowell is reportedly so impressed with the talent on this year's X Factor that he's already looking for groups to follow in One Direction's footsteps
Cheryl Fernandez-Versini told the Daily Star: "The groups this year are the best they have ever been.
"We have got three groups that I would take right now from their first audition straight through to the live shows and I would have no qualms about doing that. No fear."
Fellow judge Rita Ora agreed: "For some reason the groups are so powerful, they are literally on fire."
Simon was rather worried about one contestant during the auditions saying “He’s more than a lookalike and soundalike, he’s a complete stalker,”
“I asked him if he has ever watched a movie called Single White Female, I asked Olly if he had seen the movie too because this guy has literally channeled Olly. “He doesn’t just look and sound like him, he actually wants to be him.
I had this vision in my head of Olly getting locked up in a room with tape around him one week while this guy takes his job. I think it might happen.
If Olly goes missing, then turn up at this guy’s house and look in the garage or the garden.”
