Cheryl Fernandez-Versini today started filming for her X Factor Judges Houses.

Cheryl has taken her ‘Groups’ to beautiful Rome Italy, where she will be joined by guest helper Jess Glynne.

Originally the Judges Houses were going to be filmed completely live, but there will now be a live weekend filmed in Wembley, where the contestants will find out if they have made it through to final 12, live in front of their friends, family and millions watching at home.

The contestants performances will be pre recorded for logistical reasons, but their fate will be broadcast completely live, in an exciting twist.

Cheryl shared her excitement of being in Rome today, by sharing this beautiful picture on Instagram, with the caption: “Good Morning Rome.. You’re pretty #judgeshomes

The X Factor continues with the 6 Chair Challenge from 7pm tomorrow night.
