Thousands have already applied for the show and the number of applicants even has judge Louis Walsh surprised.
Walsh has said “We always knew we'd get a great response once we launched but even I've been blown away by the numbers that have applied. I now know more than ever that this is going to be a really great series...which is great as I promised Simon Cowell it would be!"
The show was officially launched two weeks ago.
Lucy Kennedy has been confirmed to host the show, with the judging panel consisting of Louis Walsh, Jason Byrne, British TV and radio presenter Denise Van Outen and American singer and TV personality Michelle Visage.
