What's the difference between the regular X Factor, Celebrity and All Stars version?

The regular format of the show would see ordinary contestants audition in front of three (or four) judges, hoping that they will advance to the next round, which was famously known as Bootcamp.

From there, the panel will collectively choose 24 acts - which are divided by six for each category - for the next round where judges find out which category they will mentor for the series.

Currently, it's not clear whether X Factor All Stars and Celebrity X Factor will stick to this particular format, particularly since neither will be auditioning for a place on the show.

Some fans seem to think that the new spin-offs will go straight to the live shows, subsequently leaving out the famous Bootcamp stage, judges' houses, among other things.

As more information develops, we'll be sure to keep you informed.

What is the winner’s prize?

Traditionally, the winner receives a £1 million record deal under Syco Music, while their winning single is usually known to land the Christmas Number 1 spot.

In recent years, however - and with the ratings decreasing – previous winners of the show have failed to land the Christmas top spot.

This begs the question of whether X Factor bosses will be looking to switch things up and offer more than just a recording contract in the forthcoming series.
