Look inside the £13.5k-a-month house the current batch of X Factor hopefuls call home
The finalists have been put in the lap of luxury ahead of the finals this weekend
HERE'S the swanky mansion that Simon Cowell has forked out for his finalists ahead of the first live shows this weekend.
The twelve acts have been placed in a plush North London location of Hadley Wood ahead of the performances.
The six bedroom, four bathroom house was last valued at a cool £3.6million and is currently for rent on site Zoopla for a staggering £13.5k a month.
However, despite it's luxury appearance, the mansion is a massive downgrade from last year's house - which was valued at £9million and featured an indoor pool and cinema room.
This year's contestants looked more than pleased to return to their new home as they arrived back from rehearsals on Tuesday afternoon.
Honey G, who has unwittingly become one of the most controversial housemates ever, looked like she didn't have a care in the world as she strolled towards her new North Weezy home.
The 31-year-old upset fans when Sharon Osbourne revealed her as her choice to take through to the live shows.
However, fellow judge's house star Peyton has since come out in her defence and has said he doesn't resent her being picked over him, and even wanted her fans to back her or leave her alone.
Meanwhile, the family of Samantha Atkinson, who was also in the group, has started an online petition to get her removed.
Gifty Louise, who is one of the three girls representing Simon's Under 25's category, looked confident as she strutted back to the house in her gym outfits and a pair of boots.
The three boys of group Five After Midnight looked inseparable as they headed home from their first set of rehearsals.
They will go head to head against the colourful twosome Bratavio and twins Brooks Way on Saturday.
Brooks Way have already revealed their first song will be Cake By The Ocean by DNCE.

Ottavio Columbro and Bradley Hunt, known collectively as Bratavio, definitely stayed on brand as the most colourful group in this week's finals.
The two have divided fans with their outlandish performances and love/hate relationship, which included one throwing the other into a pool during judge’s houses.
Bratavio are no amateurs when it comes to reality TV, and have appeared in several prominent TV shows both together and separately.
The pair, who met at university, have featured on Channel 4 travel show Coach Trip, and Ottavio previously auditioned for X Factor alongside Rylan Clark-Neal back in 2012.
The group also showed off their pre-show transformations ahead of their first performances, with Gifty keeping fans up to date with the house goings on via her Snapchat.
In one video she can be seen screeching as a beautician starts attacking her eyebrows with wax.
Matt Terry has also been making use of his social media pages since arriving at the house, at one point picking up one of the Brooks brothers and declaring: "This is my child. He might look seventeen, but he's only two!"
However, despite the group appearing to get on like a house on fire, someone's time in luxury will be short-lived.
At least one act will be getting the boot this weekend from the ITV show, as the vote opens up to the public for the first time.
Who will be the phoneline's first victim?
Catch X Factor this Saturday on ITV1.
