Who's 'mentoring' who (or maybe that should be whom) on this year's X Factor has now been made public

  • August 9, 2013
  • Brad O'Mance

the-x-factor1The cat­egor­ies for this year's X Factor have already been allocated and it's not good news for Sharon Osbourne.

The Daily Mirror are reporting that Osbo will 'mentor' the 'Overs', Gary Barlow will make the Groups a bit boring, while Nicole gets the Girls and Louis Walsh has his way with the Boys.

There's also a new 'teaser' advert for the whole thing which features a young lady singing a song in her back garden before 'capturing the hearts of the nation' and appearing on the show.

Dermot's 'acting' at the end is amusing.
