Auditions

edit

In 2011, The X Factor will not hold auditions in Ireland, after being replaced with a new audition city Liverpool. A source from The X Factor said: "There are only so many places we can go for auditions. We went to Dublin last year but we haven't been to Liverpool so we thought we should do it this year. Obviously this is a blow to the Irish contestants but it's only a short hop across the Irish Sea to Liverpool."[1]

Sponsorship

edit

TalkTalk is most likely to sponsor the eighth series in the UK and Domino's Pizza is most likely to sponsor the series in Ireland.
