Nicole Scherzinger and Sharon Osbourne attempt urban dancing during rapper Honey G’s X Factor audition

SIMON Cowell is rarely a man lost for words - but that's exactly what happened during X Factor hopeful Honey G's audition.

The urban songstress proudly announces she is from "North Weezy" as she introduces herself to the judging panel - which was slang for North west London, specifically Harrow.

Honey G, real name, Anna Georgette Gilford, immediately had girl judges Nicole Scherzinger and Sharon Osbourne on board with a series of audience participation chants.

The 35-year-old wannabe then launched into a cover version of Missy Elliott's song Work It - leaving Simon Cowell wide-eyed in shock as he tried to decipher what he was witnessing.

However, Sharon and Nicole immediately joined in on the fun - and even stood up from their chair and busted some moves as the song continued.

Viewers will have to tune in on Saturday to see if the wannabe hopeful gets through to the second round- but it's almost a sure thing that Honey G will make sure this series gets off to a flying start.
