I have spent the evening channel hopping between ‘How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria’ and The X Factor review show that was on ITV.

It was great to watch all the higlights from last years show, and throughout the hour I could feel my excitement mounting at the prospect of a whole 4 months of X Factor beginning next week!

I am looking forward to the usual ridiculous characters in the early audition shows, but I have to admit my real passion lies with the live shows featuring the final 10 candidates.

Bring it on!
