X Factor: New Format Makes The Six Chair Challenge Even Tougher!

Just when you thought the Six Chair Challenge couldn't get any tougher on the contestants, the new audition process will change all that.

This year, the audition will only take place in closed rooms. The last few years have seen the contestants audition in front of a live audience.

The Radio Times say, neither the auditions or the bootcamp will have a live audience. This means the first time the contestants sing on stage to a full arena will be at the controversial Six Chair Challenge.

The judges are yet to be officially announced, however, they are expected to be Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Sharon Osbourne and Nicole Scherzinger.
