The X Factor launch date revealed, shows on Saturday and Sunday night so say goodbye to your social life

Call all your friends and tell them you are unavailable as of 31 August. Why? Because that’s whenThe X Factor will start.

The tenth series of the singing show launches at the end of this month (eeeek!) and we will be treated to two shows on the Saturday and Sunday nights. Yep, double X Factor portions.

Any act who makes it through the closed auditions will come back the next evening and perform in front of the judges again – as well as an arena full of spectators.

“Closed auditions have thrown up some brilliant scenes. If contestants make it through, there’s still tension about whether they will make it to boot camp as they have to audition again in front of an audience.

“It would look odd mixing the footage of closed auditions with the audience try-outs, so we’re splitting them up. This way, people won’t have to wait long to see which acts have made it to boot camp,” an insider tells The Sun.

Then there’s also the jazzed up boot camp to look forward too, with its evil ‘six chairs’ twist.

We’ve got a very good feeling that this series of The X Factor is going to a must-watch.
