Caroline Flack has revealed that the room auditions will not be a part of this year’s X Factor.

The room auditions are being replaced by arena auditions.

She told Digital Spy: “I think the arenas create loads of excitement.

“For me, when I was there, when you walk into the arena you feel that excitement. It’s so good! It’s such a good feeling.”
