Oh, and Little Mix came from it that's more than enough for me haha.

I just thought Cheryl and Simon were a brilliant pair (forgive me if that's BGT and not X Factor, I can never remember which is which!) and the show was quite funny because of them.
When Simon wasn't being brutally honest with the people auditioning, he was bickering with Chezza! :p

I'm sure one of the girls is from the North East. I remember Joe Mcelderry (god knows how you spell it) came from X Factor or BGT too... At least it's showing the NE does have some talent!
