THE X FACTOR UK
AXS TV, 8:00 p.m. ET
This is the original British series, not its U.S. version that borrowed the same format. And for this British version, which began Season 14 last night overseas, original host and executive producer Simon Cowell has rejoined the judging panel. So has Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, who, before her marriage (and name change) earlier this year, was familiar to both U.K. and U.S. X Factor viewers as Cheryl Cole (seen here with Cowell, from the season premiere). Long-time judge Louis Walsh is here, too, as is first-time judge Mel B, formerly known as Scary Spice from the Spice Girls. How Scary is she now? Tune in and see – as AXS TV presents one-day-later U.S. telecasts of the episodes premiering this season in England.
