Which former celebrity was spotted at the X Factor bootcamp yesterday? Clue: she knows Frankie from The Saturdays...
Tulisa finally showed her face at The X Factor bootcamp in Liverpool yesterday – alongside another familiar face...
The second round of The X Factor kicked off yesterday, with boot camp taking place in Liverpool for the first time this year. Hundreds of smiley youngsters were snapped leaving Lime Street Station and heading towards the ‘secret studio’ on the outskirts of town.
We even recognise one of this lot – look closely and you may spot a former S Club Junior! No, it's not Rochelle or Frankie - they're doing alright, really - it's Daisy! You know, the one with the super long hair? Well, she doesn't have super long hair anymore - but she still loves pink. She's not the first S Club Junior to audition either - Stacey McClean had a crack at The X Factor in 2010... it didn't end well.
Aside from Daisy, you can tell who the next Niall Horans, Aston Merrygolds and Kitty Brucknells are going to be already.
With nervous grins, they all queued up with their luggage (why are their bags so big? Are they expecting Simon Cowell to turn up and whisk them off to LA?) and clambered aboard the mystery bus.
And while the contestants headed off to do scales and that ahead of the next stage of their auditions, fourth judge Tulisa finally showed her nice face.
Tulisa meets the hopefuls outside boot camp in LiverpoolWhile the rest of the arrived in Liverpool in the early hours of the morning (see them all here), Tulisa was nowhere to be seen. It was feared that she hadn’t arrived due to the illness that led to her cancelling her appearance at Guilfest over the weekend, but her ‘people’ assured us that she was feeling much better and had arrived.
And right they were – Tulisa rocked up wearing a cute printed shirt over leather shorts, with her newly bleached hair tied into a side plait.
She went outside for a chat with the hopefuls, no doubt to reassure them that they’ll be great and everything will turn out for the best – even though most of them are likely to have their dreams crushed into a pulp over the next few hours.
