X Factor auditions to resume on Wednesday

The start of this year's X Factor auditions will now take place on Wednesday.

Filming for the series was due to open Monday (July 6) in Manchester, but it was postponed after the death of judge Simon Cowell's mother the day before.

However, it has now been confirmed that the Manchester auditions will now take place on Wednesday and Thursday.

Despite the sad news, show supremo Cowell is due to attend both filming sessions.

A rep for Syco Entertainment confirmed: "We will now start auditions in Manchester on Wednesday and Thursday this week."

This year's X Factor will see the addition of Rita Ora and Nick Grimshaw to the panel.
