Tonight sees the return of one of the most popular talent shows ever to hit the small screen and with it, as always, you can expect to see a whole lot of drama.
From Louis Walsh calling Tulisa a ‘chav’ to Nicole Sherzinger turning up late for shooting, the rumour mill has been in overdrive already. And that’s just the judging panel.

According to reports in the media this morning, what happens on stage in tonight’s first episode is much more explosive than that.
One contestant, Zoe Alexander, apparently goes off on one after being rejected by the judges. Not only does she start swearing at them but she then shoves a producer backstage before storming off.
Not even host Dermot O’Leary gets a word in with the singer. He told the Irish Sun: ‘She went off, hit the camera and disappeared so I didn’t get the chance to talk to her. Thank heaven for small mercies.’

But it’s not all about the stroppy contestants and hilarious lookalikes, there seems to some real talent on display in this year’s series.
One such person is Ella Henderson who has been tipped as the next Adele. Singing her own song, the 16 year old blows the judges away and earns herself a standing ovation from the audience.
Tune into TV3 tonight at 8.00 to see it all unfold.
