Four judges? Check. Dermot O'Leary? Check. Caroline Flack and Olly Murs? Check. Months and months of headlines? You get the message. The X Factor 2011 is go!
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.
