Dermot O’Leary has released a message for any Irish singers thinking of auditioning for the X Factor.
The tv star – who is returning to the talent show this year – has told fans of the show that auditions will be visiting Dublin on Sunday April 24, with auditions taking place at the RDS from 9am.
Speaking in the video released by the ITV show, the Irish host declared: “So, I’ve had a lovely holiday, and now I’m back – and so is the X Factor!”
He also revealed in the clip that the show is going back to basics by bringing back its popular room auditions – in a bid to bring the singing contest back to its former glory.
