After so much speculation, rumours, exits and alleged axings, the new-look X Factor team have arrived in Birmingham ready for their first day of filming.

Throughout the afternoon, hopefuls - already whittled down in the first round of auditions earlier this year - will finally come face to face with Gary Barlow, Tulisa Contostavlos, Kelly Rowland and the only returning judge Louis Walsh

I am so excited for this series

And wow @ Kelly

Kelly looks fantastic, her and Gary are pretty credible judges actually. Don't know a whole lot about Tulisa

The only good thing about it is Tulisa, this will be the final series - or the series that makes them decide the following series is the final series.

Im open to change-ups, the same old does get boring.
