X Factor Judges Houses: The Girls Are Feeling The Heat

Sunny Antigua is not a dream holiday destination for this year’s X Factor girls as they struggle to cope with high temperatures.

According to The Sun the six contestants in this year's girls category are feeling ill and weak as the weather has seen highs of 35 degrees.

The show’s producers have had to battle to keep the girls in good spirits as Nicole and her fellow mentor Mary J Blige attempt to pick three to join the live shows.

One girl is reported to have suffered an allergic reaction while another has had to rest her voice for medical reasons.

With Boot Camp to be shown on next week’s show, viewers will see Nicole start to choose who makes it to judge’s houses.

Nicole is having a whale of a time

Joseph Whelan, who made it through to boot camp on last night’s episode, is set to be one of the most popular finalists this year.

After appearing on the show last year, his comeback has wowed both viewers and judges. He is now 7/1 to win the show.

Abi Alton and our own Melanie McCabe are neck and neck to win the show at 5/1 while Joseph faces competition from 17 year old Nicholas McDonald who is also at 7/1.

We can’t wait for Boot Camp to start!
