Will X-Factor Series 8 be LOVE or HATE?

So, the foot-fetish promo of four glamour-pusses (well three plus Louis) slinking down glossy floors before a non riot-related outburst of flames can mean only one thing: it returns...ITV's ratings juggernaut...The X Factor 8 is back!

Easily the most talked about programme on telly, The X Factor is back on our screens so why not give it a blog of its own?

The X Factor has a tendency to polarise opinion: love it, loathe it, the marmite of reality TV show talent shows is impossible to ignore.

Consider The X-Factory Blog to be your virtual water-cooler in the coming weeks and let us know what you think
