Both Aaliyah and Acacia K originally auditioned in separate auditions on their own, but were advised by Simon Cowell to team up. The result – a storming version of Bang Bang, learnt in just an hour – was enough to see them sail through to the next round.

Having made it to the Six Chair Challenge last year, 20-year-old make-up artist Scarlett Lee initially returned with an original song called Survival. This, however, did not impress Simon Cowell, who asked her to perform another song. She chose Never Enough from the hit film The Greatest Showman. The rest, as they say, is four yeses.
