What a fantastic time we had on Friday 29th November when we were lucky enough to visit the X Factor studios to watch the final sound check! A huge thank you to parent Mark Sidaway, Executive Producer for making this possible. We…

Met Dermot and chatted to him;

Toured back stage and saw the (locked) room where votes are counted, the main production and sound studios and the judges’ dressing rooms;

Found out they use 20 miles of cables and employ 250 people to make a show;

Danced on the stage;

Met Sharon, Gary and Louis;

Spent ages with Luke Friend (he was lovely!);

Watched all the acts rehearse – they work hard!

Check out our fab photos and spot which daring person just walked on stage to chat with Louis and the big boss man of Thames TV!
