How to watch X Factor UK from outside the UK?
You can watch X Factor live, online. ITV streams the show through the ITV Player. However, ITV blocks viewers from outside of the UK. To get around that, you need to use VPN connection. If Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox is your preferred browser, install Hola extension and set them to UK server. Then open the ITV Player, make a free account and pick the right channel. The player will ask you for a ZIP code. Find an active UK ZIP code HERE. Make sure you have the cookies enabled. You can also try to find a working ITV stream on MyiPlayer.com, TVPC.com or FilmON.com.
The X Factor airs tonight at 8:00pm BST (9:00pm CEST, 3:00pm EDT, 12:00pm PDT) on ITV 1 (60min).
Tonight, Britain’s Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon sits in for Nicole Scherzinger in Manchester and Sharon Osbourne in Edinburgh.
Lloyd Macey – 23 year old student from The Valleys, South Wales. He brought his whole family to his audition. His nan is offering his business cards to people. Also, she brought fish finger sandwiches for Simon! Lloyd sings Sam Smith’s ‘Lay Me Down’. Louis calls his singing ‘a bit West End’, but overall he gets positive comments from all 4 judges. 4 YESes.

Jordan Rabjohn – 22 year old phone shop sales assistant from Sheffield. And it shows, the guy knows how to talk. In his free time he writes and records his own songs. He sings an original song ‘Mexico’. It’s very catchy and annoying. The judges all say yes to him.

Georgina Panton – 20 year old singer and full time mum from Birmingham. Her son is 4 years old. She runs into the audition room, screaming. She is really, really confident as she declares herself the winner of X Factor 2017 before her first audition. Yikes. She sings Rihanna’s ‘Love On The Brain’. Simon says she is a little bit all over the place. But the judges love her confidence. Sharon says she is likable, but I find her annoying. 4 YESes.

Nicole Caldwell – 27 year old pub singer from Paisley, Scotland. She is very nervous, so she gets a hug from Louis. She sings Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’. Alesha says she needs to work on her showmanship. 4 YESes.

GaGa Lord – 40 year old dinner lady at a primary school. She is originally from the Philippines, but now lives in the UK. Her husband’s surname is ‘Lord’. She calls herself the ‘original GaGa’. She sings Shirley Bassey’s ‘Diamonds Are Forever’. Alesha and Nicole join her as Bond girls and Louis sits next to Simon. Gaga has a pretty strong voice. Simon loved it and all other judges too. 4 YESes.

Shanaya Atkinson-Jones – 19 year old from County Durham. She lives with her parents (she was adopted at the age of 3). She sings A Great Big World & Christina Aguilera’s ‘Say Something’. She has a big voice, but I don’t think she can go far in this competition. Still, I expect her to make it to the next round – there is no chance the show is ending with an unsuccessful audition. Simon says the performance was ‘beautiful’. 4 YESes.
