    Find out how, when and where the 'glamourous' judges houses will be on this year's X Factor

    X Factor boot camp has come to an end and thus follows the 'glamorous' judges' houses stage of the competition where the new line-up are said to have pulled out 'all the stops'.

    The Sun reports that all of the contestants are headed out of the UK this year where the elite few will be selected from their vocals talents for the live ITV shows.

    Though her famous home was sold to Jessica Simpson earlier this year, it's believed Sharon still plans to take her girls off to sunny LA to another impressive spot, while Louis heads to the south of France with the boys.

    In a strange twist, Louis is expected to bring along Sharon's daughter Kelly Osbourne and a second judge, Shane Filan from Louis' boyband Westlife.

    He's hinted that the wonderful Cheryl Cole might be joining him again to help select his groups, telling the Huffington Post: 'I always ask her to do things, we did the Jubilee together, so I would have her back in a heartbeat.'
