But what's the prize if they become top of the pop star wannabes? Here's what we know about the show that came to our screens on October 12…
What is The X Factor: Celebrity winner’s prize?
The Sun exclusively revealed that Simon is hoping to transform the fortunes of the star by offering a big money deal with his Syco record label and a shot at the Christmas No1 as a prize.
A source said: "[Simon] decided to put a proper record deal with Syco on the table for the winner — with serious money behind it. It’s a proper competition and they want people who can really sing but who are big personalities too."
Traditionally, the winner receives a £1million record deal under Syco Music, while their winning single is usually known to land the Christmas Number 1 spot.
However, Ben Haenow in 2014 was the last to get the coveted as ratings decreased.*
