Simon Cowell has taken his acts to Nice, for the Judges' House segment of the 2017 X Factor TV show and Cheryl Cole will be joining him in her first X Factor appearance since 2015.

In total six acts will fly out to Nice on the Cote d'Azur to join Simon Cowell and special guest judge Cheryl Cole, all hoping for a spot in the final stage of the competition. A new, and currently un-named, girl group will join The Cutkelvins, Rak-Su, Sean & Conor Price, Jack & Joel and Lemonade at judges' houses.

Despite a sometimes turbulent relationship, it seems as though Simon and Cheryl are happy to be reunited on the show and perhaps some time in the beautiful area of the south coast around Nice will help them rekindle their friendship.
