The X Factor (UK): Season 7, Episode 5

7 - 5: Series 7 - Auditions 5

This week's guest judge is Nicole Scherzinger as the auditions come from Manchester. First to audition is 44-year-old Rachel Chu who fails to impress the judges. Aiden Grimshaw fairs much better though and manages to sail through to the next stage of the competition. Others to impress include The Huhas, Olelade Bahdmus and John Wilding. Next up to perform in front of the judges is 69-year-old Hazel Jackson with her rendition of Simply The Best. She manages to impress Nicole but not the other judges and fails to make it through. Yuli Minguel manages to impress all the judges though with her voice and makes it through to boot camp. Chloe Victoria has the judges split in their decision but still manages to make it through much to Louis' shock. Young mother of two, Rebecca Ferguson manages to impress all three judges with her voice and makes it through.
