The X Factor is less than a fortnight away from the live shows - and you can help the judges decide which acts to take through.

The Judges' Houses stage of the competition kicks off this weekend, but Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Nick Grimshaw and Rita Ora will decide who's made it through live from Wembley.

And viewers at home will be able to help them choose by having their say on the X Factor app.

The acts have already performed for the final time before finding out whether they've made it, with Cowell taking his Overs to France and Fernandez-Versini taking the Groups to Rome.

Ora filmed her Judges' Houses with the Girls in Los Angeles, while Grimshaw took the Boys to the Cotswolds.

And each judge was helped out by a special guest mentor, with Louis Tomlinson joining Cowell, Jess Glynne giving Fernandez-Versini advice, Meghan Trainor offering her thoughts to Ora and Mark Ronson having his say on Grimshaw's Boys.

Grimshaw has already faced one tough decision as Tom Bleasby pulled out of the competition before the Judges' Houses and was replaced by controversial act Mason Noise, who rowed with Cowell during the Six Chair Challenge.

This weekend, Olly Murs and Caroline Flack will host as the final six acts in each category take to the stage in front of a studio audience and their friends and family to find out their fate.

It all kicks off on The X Factor this Saturday (October 24) at 8pm on ITV.
