Presenter Helen Skelton

Before The X Factor, Murs grew up in Essex. He worked in telesales, but music and football were his great loves. “All I ever did was go out with my mates, earn money, play football – that was all every week”.Ed Sheeran
Then an injury playing football forced him to stop. Bored in the local pub one night, he jumped on the karaoke machine. Soon Olly Murs was a local hero, packing them in with his impressions of Presley and Sinatra, singing Motown and soul and funk covers. He and a mate formed a band: The Small Town Blaggers They’d do weddings, parties, anything. They played around Essex every weekend, a few hundred quid in their pocket.
He auditioned for The X Factor. Failed. Auditioned again. Failed. Fed up with his dayjob routine and newly single, using the money saved from his weekend gigs he went travelling round Australia. Then he decided to come back to the UK and give the auditions one more go. It was summer 2009 and he sang Stevie Wonder’s Superstition. He was in.

Some artists were good some not so good,
Olly Murs - Brilliant
Eliza Doolittle - very good
Pixie Lott - went on stage in her Brownie Uniform, was very good
The Wanted - Very Good
Alexis Jordan - Very Good
Sophie wasn't too impressed, she thought it was just too loud, yes it was loud and noisy, but it was a good show.
It is great people watching, seeing all the lights and the excited young people.
On the way home we stopped at South Mimms Services and had something to eat.
