Due to Minogue's maternity leave during series 7, a series of guest judges filled in for her at the audition stages before she rejoined the panel in September.

Friedman served as performance coach and choreographer billed as "Creative Director" from series 4—7 and left before series 8 to join the American version. Brian Burke and Elizabeth Honan replaced him for series 8, although Friedman returned for three weeks in series 9 and Honan did not return.

In each series, each judge is allocated a category to mentor and chooses a small number of acts three or four, depending on the series to progress to the live finals. From series and 13 onwards, these categories were decided by the producers of the show. In series 12 viewers voted via hashtags on Twitter to determine which of the judges is allocated each of the four categories. Viewing figures of around 10 million were claimed for series 2 and 4, and 11 to 12 million for series 5.

Over three million public votes were cast in series 2 and six million in the first part of the final. The series 3 final attracted 8 million votes [] and a peak of The BBC's rival talent show Strictly Come Dancing initially beat The X Factor in viewing figures in , although The X Factor soon reversed this trend, and when the shows went head-to-head for the first time, [ when? Since , however, ratings of The X Factor have been in sharp decline. It was overtaken in the rating battle by Strictly Come Dancing during series 8 and has since very rarely managed to beat it, with Strictly Come Dancing extending its lead over the show per year.

The ratings crisis has worsened in the following year with the show recording its lowest ever figures and Strictly Come Dancing now enjoying nearly three times the audience figures of The X Factor in most weeks. The show won the Entertainment award at the Royal Television Society Awards , described as "Undeniably a brilliant, genre-defining piece of television; the team behind this show never rest on their laurels and are determined to continually raise the bar and set new standards.

Must-see television, which everyone talks about on a Monday morning.

Over the first seven series the show's viewing figures have generally trended up each series, however this was not the case for series 3. Since series 8, viewing figures have declined year on year, with the average audience figure for series 14 being nearly 2 million lower than the previous year. From the outset, The X Factor has attracted heavy criticism. Series 1—4 of The X Factor effectively included Irish viewers on an equal footing, and Irish viewers were able to vote in these series via SMS or telephone.

However, in series 5, voting from Republic of Ireland was discontinued, with the decision being blamed on new regulations introduced regarding phone competitions in the UK. The show held auditions in Dublin and Belfast for the first three series, with Belfast auditions continuing for series 4 before being dropped, though Irish singers could still audition in other cities.

Dublin first round auditions returned in [] with the auditions held on 28 June. In , The X Factor did not hold auditions in Ireland, instead replacing them with a new audition city, Liverpool. A source from The X Factor said: We went to Dublin last year but we haven't been to Liverpool so we thought we should do it this year. Obviously this is a blow to the Irish contestants but it's only a short hop across the Irish Sea to Liverpool. On 18 January , it was announced that The Xtra Factor would be axed after 13 years and would be replaced by an online show instead.

Xtra Bites is the second companion and spin-off show to The X Factor which replaced The Xtra Factor , although Xtra Bites is an online spin-off show which started airing in The show looks at all the action from the show including behind the scenes footage of the judges and interviews with contestants from the show.

There were 13 episodes uploaded altogether for the first series, all presented by Becca Dudley. Battle of the Stars was a celebrity special edition of The X Factor , which screened on ITV, starting on 29 May and lasting for eight consecutive nights. Nine celebrity acts participated, singing live in front of the nation and facing the judges of the previous The X Factor series: Cowell, Osbourne and Walsh.

Voting revenues were donated to the celebrities' chosen charities. The winner of the show was Benjamin, mentored by Walsh. It was reported on 26 August that Cowell had decided not to do a second edition, describing it as "pointless" and adding "we are never going to do it again". As of June [update] , the show has spawned a total of 35 number-one singles: By series 6 in , it had seemingly become such a certainty that the X Factor winner would gain the Christmas number one slot every year that bookmakers William Hill were considering withdrawing from the year tradition of betting on the outcome.

In series 1—2, the winner's debut album would be released a few months after their victory in the show. The album would contain some new material but would consist largely of cover versions. This format changed with series 3 winner Leona Lewis. Cowell, Lewis's X Factor mentor and newly appointed manager, said: It would have been the wrong thing to do. Series 10 winner Sam Bailey , however, released her debut album of covers, The Power of Love , in March , just three months after winning - the earliest ever debut album release by an X Factor winner.

During the fifth series of the show, the finalists released a cover of Mariah Carey 's " Hero " in aid of Help for Heroes which reached number one in the UK singles charts. Following the success of the song, Cowell announced that a charity single would be released annually though the process was discontinued in series 9. He is quoted as saying: The finalists released a cover of David Bowie 's " "Heroes" ", with proceeds once again going to the Help for Heroes charity. The charity single was scrapped after series 8, although the winner's singles from series 9 onwards were all released for charity.
