'X Factor' Auditions Descend Into Chaos

You know what it’s like… you’ve been at work all day, feel a bit bored of listening to the same things, so you shove ice cream in your colleagues faces. Um, sorry what?
Yes. That’s exactly what happened during Saturday night’s ‘X Factor’, when - with good intentions, we’re sure - ice cream man Andy Taylor presented the judges with a sweet treat to enjoy during his performance.

So far, so civilised...
However, shortly after Andy handed out the cones and started his rendition of Walk The Moon’s ‘Shut Up And Dance’, things descended into chaos, as Nick Grimshaw and Simon Cowell couldn’t resist taking the chance to plonk their ice creams on Rita Ora and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini’s faces.
Obviously, the ladies fought back - though nobody went for Si, who at the end of the day, pays their wages - and it didn’t take long before Nick, Rita and Chezza were looking a little worse for wear (and sporting ice cream splodges on their faces).

...And chaos.
Luckily for Andy, they were still listening to his performance, and the 34-year-old won the panel over, earning 4 yeses, which is more than troubled boyband DTour can say.
DTour’s audition wasn’t quite so successful, and things got even worse when their manager stormed the stage, and proceeded to beg the judges to say yes. Awk. Ward. See the cringe-inducing moment below…

The 'Six Chair Challenge' has been a sticking point with 'X Factor' viewers since its debut in 2013. Many have branded the final stage of Bootcamp cruel, with some hopefuls gaining a place at Judges' Houses only to have to give it up later, but Simon Cowell clearly doesn't mind, as it's back for 2015.

You two have to kiss and make up." (credit:ITV)

A turning point for Cheryl's popularity with the British public came when she was met with a backlash for putting both Cher Lloyd and Katie Waissel through to the live shows, over viewers' favourite Gamu, despite neither of them finishing their performances at judges' houses.Reports later suggested that Gamu could be facing deportation from the UK - adding to the backlash against Cheryl - though the aspiring singer was later insistent this was not the case.
