Dannii Minogue likens The X Factor auditions to "getting a golden ticket to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory". This is one of the London auditions. "The tension is electric. The producer sitting behind the monitors can see the contestants' faces in close-up, everything flashing through their minds. We see about 45 people a day, and the days are long. If we're looking despondent, producers will say, 'the next person's been waiting for six hours, guys. They deserve five minutes of full attention.' It's good they remind us of that."
