Tony Little at X Factor

See old faves on Saturday!

Talent to get your teeth into...

The X Factor's nationwide tour continues and this week the judges return to Cardiff and London in their search for Britain's next big thing.

There are lots of contenders hoping they've got what it takes to steal the winner's slot, and there are a few familiar faces among them, back again and still hoping to have another shot at the ultimate goal.

Yes, returning to The X Factor and hoping three times is a dream is Welsh wonder Ceri Thomas, who was ousted from the competition in 2005 and 2006 for having, well, really bad teeth.

Now with a new set of gnashers, she's out to show Simon she won't let success lisp through her hands.

Also back to entertain us is Piano Tie Tony, last seen on the show back in 2005. Newly confident, he tells Dermot, "I have lost over 4 stone, had vocal training sessions and I just want to show them how far I have come in the last three years. I cannot come out of that audition with a no".

These guys get full marks for perseverance but just how well will their singing score?

You'll have to watch Saturday's show to find out. Tune into ITV1 at 7.30pm. And don't forget to watch Xtra Factor straight after at ITV2 for even more auditions and backstage gossip!

i felt really sorry for tony he had worked so hard for so long, however if he isnt good enough then there isnt alot eles to be done, it may be his dream, but not all dreams come true.

I thought it was outrageous that Anthony didn't get a chance to go through. He had worked for 3 years to improve himself on SIMON'S so called advice and still got a 'no'. I think that you all, mainly Simon, have destroyed his confidence and his dreams. Even if he got through to next round and given some help you might have been surprised. I don't think the song was right for him but given the right song for him, he could have stood a chance.

my 7year old son was very upset when antony4367 didnt get through on the x factor . both my wife and I thout it was pretty unfair as well. my son really liked him as did we,i will admit he wasnt the best singer but he certainly had the x factor and i have seen a lot worse getting through to the next round .I hope that antony makes it without the help of the judges and the x factor and wish him all the best for the future .good luck antony and dont let them keep you down! youve got our vote

I really thought that Tony , deserved a chance. ok, he wasnt that good but he wasn't that bad either. when cheryl said that it would have been worse in the next round it wouldn't have been because at least he had the chance to get that far. on this one louis was RIGHT.

I just watched the show and I have to say it really upset me! Poor "Piano Tie Tony",he deserved a chance! So maybe he wasnt the most talented singer in the world but after all his effort a little confidence boost coudnt have hurt - he had improved so much and all that did was knock him back down. Usually I have no time for all the idiots that go on the show but he was a genuinely nice guy and it wasnt as if he couldnt sing. The whole thing just left me feeling depressed!
