Picture Special: ‘X Factor’ panel and guests at Judges’ Houses

By Will Stroude

The X Factor

has unveiled pictures of this year’s Judges’ Houses, confirming the guest stars who’ll be helping Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Mel B and Louis Walsh decide their final acts for the live shows this year.

As well as the already-confirmed return of Tulisa to help Louis and the Groups, Sinitta is back to assist Simon in picking the Over 25s, while Emma Bunton and Tinie Tempah will help Mel B and Cheryl whittle down the Boys and Girls.

Take a look at pictures – which this year feature a rather more demure-looking Sinitta – below:
