X Factor fans left shocked as the judges sneak up behind them at the famous desk
Simon, Louis, Sharon, Nicole and host Dermot made their day as they posed with them
IT’S normally only the contestants that get up close and personal to the X Factor judges, but this series, the fans were given a chance to meet them too – albeit by surprise.
To celebrate the return of the closed audition room, the show opened it up to let fans sit at the judges’ desk and have their photo taken.
But little did they know that Nicole Scherzinger, Sharon Osbourne, Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and host Dermot O’Leary were waiting in the wings to surprise them.
Sharon said: “They’re having their photo taken and they don’t know that we’re going to turn up.”
Nicole added: “We’re photobombing them!”
Simon then sneaks up behind three girls and says, “Let’s do one together,” but makes them jump and scream.
He then asks: “Who said I was the favourite judge? And who said it wasn’t me?”
One lady, who said she is glad it has gone back to the original format of the closed audition, said: “I can see myself sitting there next to Simon. Because I’d just be kissing him all the time.”
Then, as she and her friend posed for a snap with their arms crossed in the X Factor logo, Louis and Dermot ran in and stood next to them, making them scream.
Sharon also surprised a couple of girls who actually questioned if it was her!
One lad gushed about how much he fancied Nicole as he sat at the desk saying she was “beautiful and has a great voice as well”.
As she came out and stood behind them, he looked a little embarrassed but then threw his arms out and said, “I love you!”
And a group of four friends were in for a huge treat as all four judges snuck up behind them and jumped on them.
Sharon then advised them to pose “like a Kardashian, t*ts and lips!”
