This year's 'X Factor' finalists have been revealed after a nail-biting triple dose of the ITV show over the weekend, and we all know what that means too - it's makeover time!

The 12 hopefuls have already been styled to within an inch of their lives for their official photos ahead of the first lives shows this coming weekend, and don't they scrub up well?

They will all now battle it out in the weekly themed live shows, with one act eliminated each week.

Simon Cowell is mentoring the Over 25s category and picked his final three - Ben Haenow, Jay James and Fleur East - with a little help from music legend Sinitta, who not only dazzled viewers with her incredible musical knowledge but also her hair-kini. Yes, that's actually a thing now.

New girl Mel B had her old Spice Girl pal Emma Bunton on hand in Mexico to help pick her favourites in the Boys category, with Paul Akister, Andrea Faustini and Jake Quickenden all making the final cut in arguably the strongest category on this year's show.

Fresh from all of those nasty drug dealing and assault allegations , former judge Tulisa assisted Louis Walsh in picking the Groups. They opted for Blonde Electra, Only The Young and the new 8-piece boy band made up of solo acts who didn't make it past the early audition stages, a la One Direction.

Finally, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini had Tinie Tempah along to join her in Nice to help her pick her final three girls with Chloe Jasmine, Lauren Platt and Steph Nala all striking it lucky.
