After the last episode gave us a weekend anthem earworm with Beck Martin’s original song Friday Night, the latest X Factor instalment brought another set of hopefuls.

There was giggly Faye, who cracked up throughout her audition, the return of The Brooks, and a stunning vocal from Ivy Grace Paredes.

Here are the five auditions you need to see.

Faye Horne

24 year-old admin assistant Faye struggled to get through her rendition of Sam Smith’s Bond theme Writing’s on the Wall without dissolving into giggles – causing Simon Cowell to turn around so that they wouldn’t set each other off.

Ritchie Stevens

Lorry driver Ritchie didn’t tell his kids that he was auditioning for the X Factor – and they’ll likely want to forget that his take on House of Pain’s hip hop classic Jump Around ever existed. Suffice to say, none of the judges were jumping.

The Brooks

After being sent home at judges’ houses in 2014, 17 year-old identical twins Kyle and Josh are back with more perspective. Their cover of Naughty Boy and Beyonce’s Runnin’ was a tad nasal, but they seem set for a longer stint in the competition this year.

Ivy Grace Paredes

33 year-old Ivy travelled across from the Philippines to enter the X Factor, hoping to make it big and support her young daughter. The trip was worth it – Simon Cowell and co were blown away by her audition, belting out Whitney Houston like it was no trouble.

Anelisa Lambola

It’s been nine years since Anelisa first auditioned for The X Factor – now, at the age of 26, she’s back to give it another shot. Singing (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman, she’s shot right back to the top of the judges’ list of ones to watch for 2016.
