The X Factor finalists might have a tough life of early starts, vocal rest and brutal choreography, but it's not all bad - they're getting a taste of the life of the rich and famous.
And with that comes a super glamorous photoshoot for the show's official style partner Very.co.uk, where the Top 11 posed together at a lavish party and then shot further photos in their categories.
Nick Grimshaw's Boys - Mason Noise, Che Chesterman and Seann Miley Moore - spent their day with a flash car, although Girls Kiera Weathers, Lauren Murray, Louisa Johnson and Monica Michael made do with some bikes.

Former X Factor finalist Bupsi has lamented her early exit on last night's show and suggested that "people were switching on for the first time because I was there, bringing something different".
The 36-year-old singer from Leeds - who was the first out of the competition, along with Alien Uncovered, in a double elimination - revealed to Digital Spy: "Nobody got it [the song], it just wasn't enough, it wasn't right - and now the people are gutted.
"There's some people who are like, 'I'm not watching The X Factor anymore'. People were switching on for the first time because I was there, bringing something different to what they'd had before."
On her supportive fan base, she continued: "What I think people liked about me - it's just me, I think people like the way I control the stage and do my thing.

Eliminated X Factor contestant Bupsi and has revealed she "knew for days" that she'd be in the bottom two - because the song she was given just wasn't right.
The 37-year-old Leeds-born singer was in Simon Cowell's Overs' category, and bowed out of the competition last night, along with Cheryl Fernandez-Versini's group Alien Uncovered.
"I knew in my gut for days that I would be in the bottom two, because I knew that song was not the right song," Bupsi, who sang Marvin Gaye's 'You're A Wonderful One' on Saturday night, admitted to Digital Spy.
"I knew it was not going to please the people. I knew my fans would not connect with it, I knew it. And It was a case of 'this is your song', not 'what song would you like to sing?' It didn't go like that."

The wannabe singer, 45, previously claimed he was adopted at the age of seven because of his turbulent relationship with his biological parents Kenneth and Pauline, but a close family friend has since rubbished the alleged ''sob story.'' A source told The Sun newspaper: ''Anton wasn't adopted, if he was he'd have adopted parents.No one knows why he is saying things like that. It's all rubbish.''

The X Factor finally kicked off its live shows this weekend, and gosh, it looks like we've got a seriously strong field of acts this year. In fact, ranking them seems faintly unfair as even those lower down the league put in some fantastic performances, but we sucked it up and did it anyway:
13. Max Stone
You could have the best voice in the world, Max, and yours is very nice. But you still did a cod reggae cover of 'Someone Like You'.
12. Bupsi
Not quite 'You're A Wonderful One' this week. More of 'You're An Okay-But-We-Preferred-Pony One'.
11. Kiera Weathers
Kiera sang 'Crying For No Reason'... let's hope the voting public won't actually give her a reason to cry.
10. Reggie N Bollie
Reggie N Bollie covered 'It Wasn't Me' but if we were them we'd be taking All the credit for this super fun performance.

The X Factor hopeful Anton Stephans had the judges gushing all over him after his performance of 'Dance With My Father' tonight.
The backing singer took centre stage to belt out the Luther Vandross classic and had Nick Grimshaw dubbing him "incredible".
"I don't know what you've done to me but you have this place in my heart," Rita Ora added. "I think what makes you special is that you've created a bond with the public and I don't know what it is but you've got this connection with people.
"Even though you do whatever you do, it's you and I really appreciate it. You deserved that right there - great moment."
And Cheryl Fernandez-Versini agreed, saying: "I could see the pleasure in you stood there in all your glory, not behind somebody else while they're taking theirs. You deserved every second you had on that stage right there, my friend.

The X Factor kicks off its live shows this weekend, but do you know what it's missing? 2 Shoes. Ever since the Essex duo burst onto our screens back in 2011 they've held a special place in our hearts, so we decided that the best thing to do would be to get their verdict on this year's acts (minus late addition and wildcard Monica Michael).
Alright, so the pair (also known as Lucy Texeira and Charley Bird) squealed "love them!" about literally every single hopeful on the show - they're basically Brucie going "you're my favourite". But they also had plenty to say about who could be first out, who could win, who could be a third Shoe and much more:
4th Impact
Charley: "Oh, they're so cute."
Lucy: "Are they all sisters? See, I think that's great. And their harmonies are really tight. And you can tell because they are sisters,...

Simon Cowell has claimed that he's 'making The X Factor up as he goes along'.
The music mogul spoke to This Morning about the latest series of the ITV talent show, and also explained his hard decisions at Judges' Houses.
Cowell said: "I wouldn't rule anything out on this show to be honest with you, you make it up as you go along, trust me!"
Speaking about how he chose his final three acts for the live shows, he said: "[It was] a nightmare, honest, I went home absolutely exhausted."
After much deliberation, Cowell decided to put Bupsi, Max Stone and Anton Stephans through to the live shows.
"The first time I met Bupsi she was the last audition and I was just about to say goodbye… she was too nice, and then of course she replied with 'nasty' and I was kind of in the mood for nasty!"

She's back! Monica Michael was snapped in rehearsals for The X Factor yesterday after becoming the show's Wildcard this series.
Michael - who was originally sent home after Judges' Houses - was seen performing her rendition of Ed Sheeran's 'Make It Rain'. Oh, and she had time for a hug with mentor Rita Ora, too.
Rita was really dishing out the hugs, as she was also spotted embracing Louisa Johnson - who'll take on 'God Only Knows' as part of this weekend's 'This Is Me' theme.
Elsewhere, she could be seen giving Kiera Weathers a pep talk ahead of her performance of Katy B's 'Crying For No Reason'.
But there was also time for a giggle and some dance practice with Lauren Murray, whose dream of performing a Whitney track on the show will become reality this weekend when she tackles the legend's version of 'I'm Every Woman'.

When is The X Factor on TV?

You can get a proper look at it here, but auditions continued until Saturday, September 19 with Boot Camp kicking off on September 20. That was the first of five boot camp shows - two set in a country house, and then three episodes of the dreaded Six Chair Challenge. They were all on Sundays, to avoid the Rugby World Cup, but then Judges' Houses aired on October 24 and October 25... and the first big live show will kick off on October 31. And the grand final?

However, he has now admitted that he is no longer so pessimistic - and that he "publicly embarrassed" himself with his reaction to landing the group.
The judge told Digital Spy: "Of course I've changed my tune. I publicly embarrassed myself but they've been great actually."
Cowell added that getting better acquainted with his category has helped.
"I have got to know them now, I know what their strengths are, I've got to work now to give them great material," he explained. "And we have to look after each other now.
"I've got to know them, they want to win, they want to do well, so I've got a point to prove."

Bupsi Brown, Anton Stephans and Max Stone emerged on Saturday as Cowell's top three, but Max could have quite easily lost his place in the live shows to Jennifer Phillips.

Bupsi Brown, Anton Stephans and Max Stone have been chosen by judge Simon Cowell as the Overs to go through to the Live Shows of The X Factor.
The judge admitted to having changed his mind from his initial third pick, choosing Stone instead, with Jennifer Phillips, Ebru and Kerrie-Anne Phillips eliminated.
Fellow judges Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Rita Ora told Cowell to go with his gut instinct for his final choice, while Nick Grimshaw encouraged him to opt for Stone.
Cowell admitted that Stone was the "underdog" in his category.
After the judge made his choices, Stephans said he was "over the moon", clearly ecstatic from getting through.
Stone said that it was "absolutely amazing" and thanked Cowell for putting him through.

After the judge made his choices, Stephans said he was "over the moon", clearly ecstatic from getting through.
Stone said that it was "absolutely amazing" and thanked Cowell for putting him through.
Cowell and Fernandez-Versini's Groups are the two categories that have been selected for the Live Shows.
The X Factor airs on ITV.

The X Factor brings us Judges' Houses this weekend, but if these pictures are anything to go by, the Overs spent a lot of their time in France making wine.
Perhaps they needed a little bit of Dutch courage before facing Simon Cowell and special guest Louis Tomlinson to perform for one last time before they find out whether they've made the live shows.
The Top 6 won't actually know if they're going through until this weekend, when Cowell makes the decisions live...
1. Anton Stephans - 45, London
Who? Backing singer Anton brought his dog along to his first audition, just to make us love him even more. But his stunning vocal at the Six Chair Challenge - combined with his fun sense of humour ("Botox!") and his impassioned speech to persuade Simon to give him a seat - was his real turning point.

Anton Stephans doesn't just want record sales after The X Factor - he wants his own music show.
The 45-year-old joked that he might pitch the idea to Simon Cowell when he gets the chance.
"I have this massive dream of having my own music show, kind of like Jools Holland on steroids," Anton explained.
"I want stars to come on my show and we sing duets. I want it to be fast, slick, beautiful and funny."
Anton and the rest of Cowell's Overs will battle it out to get to the live shows in Judges' Houses this weekend.
He says that he gets on with all of them and has developed a role within the group.
"By accident, I seem to have become an agony aunt which is a bit worrying. All the other contestants call me uncle."
Anton might be as close as ever to the live shows,...

The X Factor has helped Max Stone find his music style.
Ahead of the Judges' Houses this weekend, the 27-year-old has admitted he has taken a while to find out what suits him best.
"I've been struggling trying to find my music style for years," he revealed.
"I've always been a bit unsure of exactly what to do but through the competition so far, I feel like I've really found a home with reggae soul.
"I think there's a huge gap in the market for reggae soul and it's coming back more and more."
Along with this, Max also believes he's the quietest in Simon Cowell's Overs group and isn't sure if it's good or bad.
"It's not that I am shy, it's just how I am. Singing wise, I think I am a bit more of a belter than some of the others."

X Factor's Bupsi made it through the Six Chair Challenge on last night's (October 18) nerve-shredding show, but with Cheryl Fernandez-Versini suggesting she's more of a performer than a vocalist.
The 37-year-old hopeful from Leeds in Cowell's Overs Category will now compete for a place in the Live Shows during the Judges' House stage.
Speaking to Digital Spy about Cheryl's comments, Bupsi said: "Everyone's allowed their opinion. Am I upset with Cheryl for saying that? It's her opinion. If that's what she felt, that's what she felt. But people who've known me for all these years - they know that I've got some lungs on me.
"With me not being 100% well still.... Look, it's not time to be talking about a pity party again. I don't want pity - I'm upset I'm ill, but this is how it is.

X Factor's Bupsi won Simon Cowell over and secured herself a seat with her energetic performance and impressive dance moves on last night's (October 18) Six Chair Challenge.
The 37-year-old hopeful from Leeds got the audience on their feet with her rendition of Aretha Franklin's 'Respect' and will now head to Judges' Houses with Cowell and guests judge Louis Tomlinson.
Despite being in the Overs category, she still shared her views on Nick Grimshaw controversially bringing back Mason Noise to his Boys' section to replace Tom Bleasby - despite Mason being booted off the show last weekend after complaining of not having enough airtime.

Never say The X Factor is always the same. Just last week, Nick Grimshaw was smugly grinning about how strong his category was - only to discover to his horror that the opposite was true. And last night, Simon Cowell was disgusted to be mentoring the Overs... only to find out that actually, they were full of talent.
The problem with Grimshaw's Six Chair Challenge was that with little talent on offer, at least at first, the stakes didn't feel too high - it was only when the (now reinstated) pantomime villain Mason Noise appeared that the drama level got ratcheted up.
It was a similar story with Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, whose Groups were squeezed into the end of last week's episode and the beginning of Sunday's, with no real events to speak of (the closest we came was with Silver Tone and Bekln, connected by a brother and sister in...

The final Six Chair Challenge on The X Factor was suitably brutal and we're not sure we've quite recovered. Still, in amongst the in-out-in-out swapping chaos of it all were some seriously great performances, so read on for tonight's video round-up - ranked, as always, from worst to best:
The Groups
2. Bekln
'See You Again' - yes, we do hope so.
1. Silver Tone
A change definitely has come for Silver Tone.
The Overs
14. Holly Johnson
Not so Happy after Simon's rudeness, we're guessing.
13. Stephanie McCourt
We feel sorry for Stephanie - where was the audience's heart?
12. Tonatha Raihan
She might have been a safe bet, but Simon didn't want to take it.
11. Neneth Lyons
This just wasn't her moment in time.
10. Joseph McCaul
A shame Simon didn't show him more 'Mercy', really.
9. Zen Blythe
We're not going to pretend we didn't lose our zen when Zen got sent home.
8. Hannah Marie Kilminster...

The X Factor star Anton Stephans has joked that he'll work on not looking "crazy" after Simon Cowell warned him about his facial expressions.
Anton - who will head to Simon's Judges Houses after winning a seat in the "incredibly terrifying" Six Chair Challenge - joked about Simon being used to people with Botox when he was told he makes bizarre faces when he sings.
"I didn't get sassy with Simon!" he joked to Digital Spy and others. "But I think that's true – I think sometimes if you are in an environment where things are one way, that can become your norm and if you're not and if you're faced with that suddenly, it can be different and strange to you.
"It doesn't make it bad, it just makes it different. But I also take on board what he said, because he's an incredibly smart man and if he says,...

It's going to take us a long time to recover from Simon Cowell's brutal Six Chair Challenge, but he did at least (eventually) manage to choose the Overs he's taking to Judges' Houses - even if he did admit he thinks he's made two "big mistakes". Cripes.
But it's too late to change his mind - and he does have a very strong category. But who are the six Overs now fighting it out for a place in the live shows?
1. Anton Stephans
Age: 44
From: London
Job: Performer and backing singer
Remind me: Anton - or Lovely Anton, as we've christened him - made a big impression on Simon right from the first audition, when he brought his dog Honey with him. But his voice also left a lasting impact, with his solo performance of 'A Song For You' at Boot Camp cementing his place in the competition (and making Olly Murs cry!

Anton Stephans gave an emotional speech as he fought to stay in The X Factor on tonight's Six Chair Challenge.
The contestant sang Luther Vandross' 'A House Is Not A Home', with Simon Cowell saying that he was distracted by Stephans' facial expressions.
He joked beforehand that "if you're in an environment where loads of people have Botox and their faces don't move, that becomes your normal".
However, afterwards Stephans showed tears as he fought for a chair.
"What you call crazy, I call passion. What you call crazy, I think is determination and wanting this," he said.
"I want you to believe in me. Finally, finally I believe in me. You need to go 'Anton, this is your chair and I'm not going to give it to anyone else.' You need to do that," he pleaded through tears.

After three weeks of chair-swapping drama, the Six Chair Challenge finally concludes this evening. All that's left is for Cheryl to finish choosing her groups and then for Simon to tackle the Overs category.
Throughout the competition Simon has been less than enthusiastic about mentoring the Overs, and according to what we've heard, he's still pretty grumpy this evening. So we're sure that all the chair-swapping's going to be as brutal as ever.
Join us from 7pm and we'll bring you all the action live as it happens, including performances from some of our favourites such as lovely Anton and Bupsi. Enjoy!

The X Factor is heading to the Six Chair Challenge next week, but first we were treated to some last-chance performances from Boot Camp. The Boys and Overs were trying their hardest to make it through, so here are their performances from worst to best:

A gem by name, but not by singing quality.
18. Andre Batchelor
From his gold confetti, to "Auntie Carol", to: "He looked like a crab going sideways", Cheryl said it all: "This has got to stop."
17. Ankush Khanna
"I can't think of anything positive to say about that." Ouch, Simon.
16. Papasidero
Look at the positives: at least Papasidero was compared to Madonna. Shame it was for the cape incident, though.
15. Jamie Benkert
The Olly Murs tribute had his time on The X Factor Wrapped Up. Sorry.
