It is finally bootcamp and now that the audition stages are over, the competition really heats up.
The first task of the gruelling round sees contestants tackle the Wall of Songs and as the teaser for the upcoming episode shows, it gets chaotic.
Dermot, 44, explains: “There are 35 songs on that wall, each song has four cards.
“Pick one song. You have to find three other people who are singing the same song… Song choice is everything,” he insisted.
After he blew a horn, the mass of hopefuls charged towards the wall, hoping to get a song of their dreams.
However, one singer grabbed way more than she was supposed to and it was up to Dermot to tell her off about it.
He demanded to know how she came to have five cards when he insisted each contestant only took one.
“That is not the idea, you pick one!” the X Factor stalwart yelled.
This follows last week’s dramatic instalment of the ITV talent show which saw Simon Cowell and Nicole Scherzinger suffer not one but two car crashes.
The mischievous pair tried to take a golf buggy into a shop but it was just too big and ended up smashing into the store’s metal detecters.
The X Factor continues tonight on ITV at 8pm.
