It's the final weekend of the Boot Camp stage on this year's The X Factor, which means judges Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and Nicole Scherzinger have been busy filming for the Judges' Houses stage at their luxury homes across the globe.

With the scenes set to air next weekend, the guest judges have been revealed and they certainly don't disappoint!

It's been heavily rumoured over the last few months that former judge Cheryl would be returning to the show, and when Sinitta expressed her annoyance that Simon had asked the 'Call My Name' singer instead of her, things were more or less confirmed.

Cheryl will appear on the show for the first time since 2015 and will join Simon at a luxury house in Cannes.

Rapper Stormzy is also set to join Nicole Scherzinger in South Africa. The rapper has grown in popularity over the years and recently featured on Little Mix's track 'Power'.

Louis Walsh is bringing a major throwback for his guest judge, the Irishman will be joined by 'Love Today' singer Mika.

Finally, Sharon Osbourne is going to be joined by her children Kelly and Jack out in San Francisco.

Although most of the Judges' Houses filming has already taken place, bosses at The X Factor are keeping quiet about the categories.

Meanwhile last weekend, The X Factor Boot Camp stage heated up, with a number of early favourites going home.

One hopeful who did impress judges was 17-year-old student Benji Matthews who performed an original song inspired by Mick and Linda Carter from EastEnders.

Benji received heaps of praise from all four judges for his catchy song and amazing vocals, and made it through to this weekend's Six Chair Challenge.

Watch his performance below:

The X Factor continues on Saturday and Sunday with the famous Six Chair Challenge. The Judges' Houses stage of the competition is set to air on Saturday 14th October.
