Nicole Scherzinger made her debut as a permanent X Factor judge in Newcastle wearing this gauzy, asymmetric dress. “I’m so excited to join the UK X Factor family. It's where I got my start, so it feels great to come full circle,” she said of her appointment, which is rumoured to be earning her £750k over the course of the series.

But apparently the wedges got a bit much for the presenter and she was later spotted walking to her hotel barefooted.

Following the excitement of the Jubilee celebrations and his consequent OBE, Gary Barlow got back to the day job, looking casual in this linen jacket and T-shirt.

Best pals Tulisa and Anastacia cosied up in Glasgow. The Outta Love singer was the show’s guest judge for the Scottish leg of the audition process.
Rex FeaturesManchester Auditions
Gary Barlow looked the perfect mix of smart and casual at The X Factor auditions in Manchester. The Take That star managed to balance being a judge on the show with his work on the Queen’s Jubilee concert in June.

Guest judge Mel B showed her dedication to the show, flashing fans and photographers the “X” sign at the Manchester auditions in June. The former Spice Girl decided against her trademark animal print and opted for green khaki with gold accessories, including a rather fabulous Hermès belt.

Tulisa gave her floral prom dress a bit of an edge at the Manchester auditions, wearing a matte leather jacket to counter-balance that pretty bow in her hair.

Chart topper - and Jay-Z's protégé - Rita Ora wowed at the auditions at the O2 Arena in London with her confident and flirtatious judging style. Ora told one hopeful: "I think you're really good looking, so it's a yes from me!" Speaking to Digital Spy, one X Factor insider said: "Rita fitted in brilliantly on the panel and was a natural. She had great chemistry with Gary and Louis and she was feisty enough to keep up with Tulisa."

Tulisa looked happy (and very cute in her Felder Felder dress) as she arrived at the 02 Arena for The X Factor auditions. Talking about guest judge Rita Ora, Tulisa said: "Rita is great for the panel. Despite only breaking the commercial scene recently, Rita has been in the industry for years and knows what she is talking about."

Geri Halliwell obviously wanted to make an impression as she took a guest judge spot in May – so wore a backless, blue dress with cream ankle boots. Shame she’s also showing off her mic in this pic too!

Tulisa turned to one of her favourite high street brands, Lipsy, for this bright floral number, but gave it her own personal styling touch with a chunky studded belt.

It's great."

Not bad for her first day back at work, eh? Lucky Caroline Flack was spotted filming with a tribute Beatles band, and looked as if she was having a whale of a time. X Factor judge Gary Barlow later tweeted: "YES @ollyofficial and @carolineflack1 are back!! Love em #result [sic]". Aw!
