While the actual Judges’ Houses performances were pre-recorded, the final decisions were made during live segments of the show.

As if Judges’ Houses isn’t usually nail-biting enough, this year they also added in a live element to the show.
But Cheryl says she needs them to ooze masculinity and stop being touchy-feely wimps. “I’ve learned from the execs how cut-throat it is, as well as being a performer, which Simon doesn’t because he’s never done it”.
Viewers will see them compete with Alien Uncovered, BEKLN Mile, Reggie n Bollie, 4th Impact and Melody Stone at Cheryl’s judge’s house in Rome this weekend.
“She’s been very caring to me and welcoming and she phones me all the time and checks up on me”. One thing is for sure, the groups are fantastic this year!
The Filipina sisters obviously impressed Fernandez-Versini and Jess Glynne as the former sent the group to the next round.
It was announced last month that Cheryl would be mentoring the groups, whilst Simon would take the overs, Rita the girls and Nick the boys.
Keira Weathers lifted the mood with her version of the classic Show Me Love and Louisa Johnson made an interesting song choice with Respect but Meghan felt that something special had happened during the audition (and the 17-year-old had been ill during her time in LA). Did anyone else think Bupsi was a bit disappointed when she found out the judge wasn’t Trevor McDonald? Although like Simon said, if that’s her nervous, wonder what she would be like without the nerves. She told InStyle magazine:: “I’m going to be tougher this year. Che has got one of the best voices I’ve ever heard, Mason is a superstar”.
The Overs who missed out on their shot at the live shows were Ebru, Jennifer Phillips and Kerri-Anne Phillips.
Fans visiting Cheryl’s page were faced with a message explaining: “If you’re a negative person swerve, you have no place on my page”. For the final act of tonight Anton Stevens. Let’s find out. Although the vocals were nearly spot on, he looked awkward and damn them faces. But she didn’t make her final three.
If you thought Saturday was painful then wait for Sunday! The live twist on the show was an awesome input from the producers and keep it coming!

“I’ve got goosebumps”, said Cheryl. The 32-year-old hit back after one Instagram troll made an unkind comment in July, writing: “I am so sick and exhausted of it being ok to call somebody too thin or “a bag of bones”!” Everyone in my category I’m incredibly proud of’.
