Tonight the lucky few picked from 75,000 hopefuls for X-Factor boot camps perform again to stay in the game.

ITV will give viewers two special shows at 18:10 and 20:10 BST to reveal just what has been going on during the judges' three training camps.

With Simon Cowell mentoring the groups, Sharon Osbourne the over 25s, and Louis Walsh the 16 to 24 year-olds, each judge has handpicked helpers to choose who will go through to the next stage.

Simon is joined by old flame Sinitta and vocal coach David Laudat; Louis by vocal coach Yvonne Burnett and stylist Faye Sawyer; and Sharon teams up with PR guru Gary Farrow and music man Mark Hudson.

But all has not been going well for Simon during his contestants' boot camp, filmed at Bayham Hall in Kent - residents asked him to move his chauffeur-driven Bentley from in front of the house because it 'ruined the view'.

When Simon refused to give up his prime parking space, he almost put a halt to filming! The famous Cowell charm strikes again...
