And it seems that Cheryl Fernandez-Versini's return to the judging panel may be drawing a bigger audience as figures topped 2013.
The Saturday night broadcast pulled in an average of 421,900 viewers, up +5% on 2013, while Sunday night's broadcast recorded an even bigger average of 432,500 up +18.5% on last year.
Meanwhile, in the country of Northern Ireland (1.811 million population)

Michael Wilson, Managing Director, UTV said: "Our audience has been hotly awaiting the return of X Factor - with an impressive 55% of those watching TV on Saturday night watching X Factor representing a massive 361,000 viewers here.
Seriously, they didn't just add Saturday and Sunday's ratings together did they? That makes zero sense, the vast majority are the same viewer tuning in for the second show.
Good to hear it's doing well though for TV3 considering they'll be folding as a station next year in Ireland when UTV goes in there.
