This was the first ever series of the Celebrity X Factor it started on July 14 and concluded on September 15. The acts were already professional singers so didn't have a mentor.
Unlike the normal X Factor the acts wouldn't have mentors any every week would perform one of their own songs. There were also no auditions as only 16 acts would agree to take part. Four male singles, four female, four girl groups and four boy bands. The judges were Leona Lewis, Alexandra Burke, Robbie Williams and Tinie Tempah who would all critique the acts and would decide who would leave at the end of each week the judges were different to the actual judges as they were all competing. The only rules were each act had to sing their own songs each week and the acts couldn't have competed on X Factor regular series before.
The actual performances would be on Saturday night with the results on Sunday night as like the normal X Factor.
James Harrison the head judge and creator of The X Factor decided to get professionals to do a series before Series 9. The final of the celebrity version aired on the 15 September with Series 9 of the original series airing on the 22nd September.
The order would be one act from each category would be eliminated in Week 1 with just one act going in each week from then on. As Andrew Collins the normal host was competing with JAT, Ant & Dec took over the presenting the Xtra Factor would air on ITV2 as normal with Caroline Flack.
