Viewers will be able to vote by tweeting the hashtag with the name of their chosen judge followed by the category they want to see them mentor.
Meanwhile, it’s also been revealed that Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has been handed a promotion by boss Simon Cowell, by being made an executive producer on the show.
Cheryl will now be involved in helping Si and the other producers make big decisions on the show.
"This year, Simon wanted me more involved in the decision making,” she told the Daily Star.
"He wanted to know my ideas, what I thought, who I thought would be good. I get excited and blurt things out and then he'll say, 'That's actually a really good idea. OK, so tell us more. What do you think? What would you change?'
"And I'd just say, even if it's stuff he thinks is absolutely ridiculous."
She added: "We have creative moments together. We work really well off camera, just him and me in a meeting. So I've a few ideas for this year."
