The line-up for the celebrity spin-off of The X Factor has finally been revealed and it is definitely going to be a wild, wild ride.
Singers, reality stars, and athletes are coming face to face to fight for the chance to be crowned the 2019 Champion in The X Factor: Celebrity.
If you thought you could get away from Love Island, think again, as last year’s loved up contestants will be forming the supergroup The Islanders.
Members include Wes Nelson, Samira Mighty, Eyal Booker and Zara McDermott.
Sounds exciting already.
There will be four other groups competing as well, and some members include Ben Foden, Jeremy Edwards, and CBBC’s Max and Harvey.
The brand-new take isn’t what we’re used to but we can’t wait to watch these celebrities step out of their comfort zone.
That’s not all, reality star Megan McKenna, Glee’s Kevin McHale and EastEnder’s Jonny Labey will be pitted against each other in the Unders in the most unusual (in our eyes at least) showdown this year
As for the Overs?
We can expect journalist Martin Bashir, actress Victoria Ekanoye and even talk show host Ricki Lake.
Not going to lie, we’re convinced the entire show will consist of the contestants giggling away while Simon Cowell tries to get everyone under control.
Nicole Scherzinger and Louis Walsh are returning as judges this year along with Dermot O’Leary as host, so at least something is familiar.
The series is likely to be followed by a second X Factor series, X Factor All Stars – in which some of the most familiar faces from the previous X Factors return to battle it out.
‘The time feels right, and it will be a huge change,’ Simon Cowell previously told The Sun.
‘We haven’t exactly confirmed the dates or the order of the shows, but essentially there are going to be two versions of X Factor running this year. I think it’s going to be huge, it’s the best I’ve felt about this show in ages.’
The X Factor: Celebrity is on ITV in October.
