Simon Cowell with girlfriend Terri Seymour and Dannii Minogue arrive at the "X Factor" auditions at a London hotel.
The latest X Factor series stretches the age-limits to allow 14-year-olds to take part for the first time. About 150,000 people auditioned for a place in the final line-up of twelve and a shot at the prize of an almost $2 million recording contract.
Simon and Dannii are joined on the judging panel by Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh, who was hired and fired from the show earlier this year. Dermot O'Leary takes over from Kate Thornton as host and refuses to comment as to whether older sister, Kylie, gave her advice before joining the show. "My family are a very big part of my life," she told reporters. "I talk to them about everything, including something as big as this."
But reports are that Kylie will appear in one of the studio-based episodes. Last year's winner, Leona Lewis, will also take part ahead of the release of her debut album.
