X-Factor audition

Well off we went to Aston Villa Football ground just after 7am. The queues were enormous! It was a nightmare to park. I parked on the pavement in the end.

We queued for around 2 hours before we actually got into the ground and then it took another 2 hours to get into the stadium and then we waited around 5 hours until Katherine finally got her audition!

It was a good day though, the atmosphere was great and we met Dermot O'Leary! He was great, he said hi to us and rubbed Katherine on the back and said 'Hi how are you'!! Got some really good pics of him, he's a really friendly lovely guy.

Sadly Katherine didn't get through but she wasn't too worried this year. Just after her audition a girl was having her audition and she was absolutely amazing, her voice turned heads, she had a really powerful voice and sang beautifully but to our amazement she didn't get through either! That made Katherine feel a lot better.

It seemed that the early part of the day they were putting lots of people through but it got less and less as the day went on.

I think the secret is getting there as early as possible. Some people had been there since 6am!

We were out of home for around 11 hours and we were shattered when we arrived home.
