It’s official – The X Factor has scrapped the room auditions.
How do we know this? Well, host Caroline Flack has said so.
Speaking to Digital Spy while promoting her other TV show, Love Island, Cazza – who’s presenting the new series of the ITV talent show with her good pal Olly Murs – revealed that hopefuls will be going straight to the arenas when they audition.
She added that she believes it's the right decision, saying: "I think the arenas create loads of excitement.
"For me, when I was there [on The Xtra Factor], when you walk into the arena you feel that excitement. It's so good! It's such a good feeling."
The X Factor will air later this year on ITV, while Love Island kicks off on Sunday at 9pm on ITV2.
