The X Factor reaches the Judges' Houses stage of the competition this weekend, and the Groups were lucky enough to head to Rome to perform for their mentor Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and special guest judge Jess Glynne. If nothing else, it was a chance for them to get to grips with their new names:
1. 4th Impact
Formerly: 4th Power
Who are they? Mylene (23), Irene (25), Almira (27) and Celina (19) grew up singing and dancing together.
Their journey: 4th Impact - who travelled from the Philippines to audition - have been wowing the judges since their astonishing first audition, in which they covered 'Bang Bang'.
They say: "We are very fierce, energetic, powerful performers with angelic harmonies."
2. Alien Uncovered
Formerly: Alien
Who are they? Madison (19), Natalie (18), Temple (24), Frank (17), Yaz (23) and Shae (23) have been together for 18 months.
Their journey: Alien Uncovered burst onto the auditions with a cover of 'Pump It', and Cheryl admitted at...

Where would The X Factor be without its strange and hilarious auditions? From furious contestants to a sick bag being called for, it's more than just a music competition.
The judges deserve credit too. These bizarre audition gems couldn't happen without them. Check out our favourites, brought to you in association with TalkTalk's new Bopheads app:
1. Ant and Seb (2008)
The Welsh brothers were a mismatched pair if ever there was one. Ant didn't have a bad pair of lungs on him, but - to put it mildly - Seb wasn't quite so gifted.
From this we can gather that Ant is either a) the best brother a guy could wish for or b) completely deaf in his left ear.
2. Holly 'Big Mouth' Jervis (2008)
Over-confidence is rarely a good sign on The X Factor. The holiday camp performer might have sung to people all across the country, but her 'big and...

We were all very sad to hear that the voice of The X Factor himself, Peter Dickson, has announced that he has chosen to leave the show.
But there was just one person whose reaction we needed to the news. Not Simon Cowell. Not Cheryl Fernandez-Versini. Not even Dermot O'Leary.
The X Factor 2015: 8 stars who could replace Voiceover Man Peter Dickson on the show
We're talking about Rachel Adedeji, of course.
Who could forget the perfect way in which Dickson enunciated her moniker when she took part in series six all the way back in 2009? Not us. In fact, we kind of think of it as Dickson's defining moment.
So, clearly, does Rachel, who took to Twitter today to say the following:
@Nat_Jamieson A sad day seeing @peterdickson leave the @TheXFactor.. It just won't be the same without you Sir! X

We couldn't agree more,...

It's happening! Love Island really is coming back... and we couldn't be happier. This time, it's a celebrity-free zone as members of the public try to find romance in the sun - and it's all kicking off on Sunday, June 7. So very soon indeed, then.
The new version of the show is hosted by Caroline Flack, so we caught up with her before she flew out to Love Island to find out why she's the Queen of Heartbreak, why she wants people to cry at home, and why we should look out for a certain player in the cast...
1. Love Island might be all glamorous beaches and villas, but Caroline's not expecting much of a holiday.
"I don't think I'm going to get much time to chill out!" she admitted. "I think I'm working the whole time because I'm going back and forth as well for The X Factor. It's...
