Simon Cowell

Head judge and music mogul Simon, 56, will is mentoring the girls this year.

He’ll be taking his gaggle of wannabes stateside to his second home Los Angeles.

Si has held this round of the ITV singing contest there before.

In 2014 it is where Fleur East sang her way into his finalists along with eventual show winner Ben Haenow.

Although he opted to go to France last year, LA also proved lucky for 2015 X Factor winner Louisa Johnson who sang there for former judge Rita Ora.

Louis Walsh

Irish returnee Louis, will be hopping over to the party island of Ibiza.

For the sixth time in his 12 years as a judge, the former Westlife manager has the groups category.

The 64-year-old has only won the show once in 2005 with Coronation Street star Shayne Ward so will be hoping for better luck this year.

Sharon Osbourne

Shazza is reportedly also heading to Los Angeles with the over 25s in-tow.

She already has form in that category after mentoring 2013 winner Sam Baiiley, whom she also picked in the California destination favourite.

Robbie Williams is expected to team up with her on this jaunt.

Nicole Scherzinger

Former Pussy Cat Dolls singer Nicole has landed the boys.

She guided James Arthur and Jahmene Douglas to victory in the same category back in 2012, with James going on to be the winner.

The 38-year-old will be jetting off to the south of France where she will be joined by superstar DJ Calvin Harris.

The X Factor airs Saturdays and Sundays on ITV at 8pm.
