It’s time! To face! The Six Chair Challenge! Yes, the most terrifying, stressful post-audition stage is returning to The X Factor this year.

But it’s come back with a slight twist: this year each judge will have one opportunity to press down on the ‘Golden X’ button, giving an act a safe chair where they can’t be swapped for another act.

But which acts will we see performing this round? See below for our list of all the Boys (mentored by Louis Tomlinson) who made it through the auditions stage…
