THE X Factor is back - sooner than you think
ITV bosses today confirmed that the show will return on Saturday 27th August at 8pm and Sunday 28th August at 8pm.
Fans can get a sneak peek of the new series tonight on ITV tonight during Emmerdale and Coronation Street.
The new trailer features this year's bath of hopefuls doing what they do best - leaving the judges shocked... but not necessarily in a good way.
Simon Cowell, Nicole Scherzinger, Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne can be seen gasping, leering and stunned in to silence by some of the thousands of people who want to be this year's winner.
The video also shows Dermot O'Leary back in full presenter duties, bopping backstage with a gaggle of enthusiastic wannabes.
Their reactions have been used to form a mash-up set to Girls Aloud's Something Kinda Ooh, which means that departed judge Cheryl Fernandez-Versini stills get a nod, despite quitting the show earlier this year.
It's definitely enough to get fans in a frenzy - roll on next Saturday!
