The X Factor 2018 categories REVEALED: who has the Girls, Boys, Overs and Groups?
Which groups will be mentored by Simon Cowell, Ayda Field, Robbie Williams and Louis Tomlinson?

It’s the X Factor question we’re all eager to hear the answer to... which judge has been given which category of singers?
Simon Cowell, Ayda Field, Robbie Williams and Louis Tomlinson are expected to mentor one group of singers each – either the Girls, Boys, Groups or Overs. Once served their category a judge must then whittle down it into six acts in the dreaded Six Chair Challenge. These six will then be mentored at the Judges’ Houses before yet more singers are chopped ahead of the live shows.
