The music mogul was joined by One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson at Judges' Houses at a chateau in France and chose to take Anton Stephans, Bupsi and Max Stone forward with him.

Cheryl, assisted by Jess Glynne in Rome, opted for Fourth Impact, Alien and Reggie & Bollie.

While the actual Judges' Houses performances were pre-recorded, the final decisions were made during live segments of the show on Saturday (24.10.15).

Nick will have to choose from between Seann Miley Moore, Josh Daniel, Che Chesterman, Ben Clarke, Simon Lynch and Mason Noise.
