The fourteenth series began airing on ITV on 2 September 2017, presented by Dermot O'Leary. For the first time in seven years, the judging panel will remain the same, with Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne, Nicole Scherzinger and Louis Walsh returning. This is the first series not to include companion show The Xtra Factor, after it was cancelled in January 2017. Its replacement is a programme called Xtra Bites presented by Becca Dudley on the ITV Hub. This is also the first series to be sponsored by Just Eat, with the show having being sponsored by TalkTalk since 2009, as well as the second time the show has premiered in September, rather than August, since the first series in 2004. Rak - Su won the competition on 3 December 2017 and they became the second group to win the competition and Simon Cowell became the winning mentor for the fourth time.

That same month, both Sharon Osbourne and Nicole Scherzinger cast doubt on their return, with Osbourne citing her dual - work on The Talk, and Scherzinger stating : `` I ca n't confirm that I 'm going to ( be back ) but I think if I did return it would have to be with this panel because I 'm really close with this panel. (... ) I 've really enjoyed myself and we 're really close. '' On 13 April 2017, Cowell announced his intentions to retain the same judging panel for the fourteenth series. In June 2017, it was announced that the judging panel would remain the same as the previous series. Dermot O'Leary will return for his tenth series as presenter. On 23 June 2017, it was announced that Britain 's Got Talent judge Alesha Dixon would appear as a guest judge for the first day of Manchester auditions, due to Scherzinger having a `` previous diary commitment ''. Five days later, on 28 June, it was announced that Dixon would once again appear as a guest judge, this time for Osbourne, who was unavailable due to a long - standing back injury. Cowell arrived late to 4 July 2017, auditions in London, due to an illness. On 29 October 2017, Dixon reappeared as a guest judge on the Sunday live show, this time filling in for Cowell, who was absent recovering from an injury during the weekend. Selection process On 4 July, it was reported that there will be major changes to the show this year. Auditions are taking place in Thorpe Park, bootcamp will take place in front of an audience and there will be six weeks of live shows instead of the usual ten. Additionally, acts will be sent home on both Saturday and Sunday, as `` tedious '' Saturday nights received lower viewing figures than Sunday. Auditions The minimum age to audition this year was 14 after being reduced down from 16 the previous year. Contestants needed a `` yes '' from at least three of the four judges to progress to Bootcamp. Mobile auditions The mobile auditions began on 11 May 2017, in Belfast and concluded on 23 May 2017, in Yeovil.

Following the filming of bootcamp and prior to the filming of the six - chair challenge, the judges ' categories were revealed. Cowell was given the Groups, Scherzinger was given the Overs, Osbourne was given the Girls and Walsh was given the Boys. There are three different stages to Bootcamp. Six - chair challenge The six - chair challenge took place over the course of two days, from 26 to 28 July 2017, at The SSE Arena, Wembley. Unlike previous years, where all four judges sat together, each judge was secluded on their own while their respective category performed. The three remaining judges sat together and gave their own critiques of the performance, before allowing the category 's judge to make the final decision. It was broadcast over three episodes ; Osbourne choosing in the first, Cowell and Scherzinger choosing in the second, with later portions of her decisions shown, alongside Walsh 's, in the third. Judges ' houses The judges ' categories were announced in July 2017, with additional details of the judges ' houses announced in October 2017. Anthony Russell withdrew after the pre-recorded sections of the show and was replaced by Sam Black who was knocked out of the competition at the Bootcamp stage. Sam Black will be in Walsh 's Boys category. In a statement, Walsh stated, `` Anthony has been fantastic across the series, a great singer and performer who we are really sad to see go. I had to think for a long time who could take the place. Sam had a great reaction from the British public when his Audition aired. So I re-watched it and realised we missed a trick not putting him through at Boot Camp. He has that retro 60s style viewers will love. He 's really likeable and talented and I ca n't wait to hear more. '' At the end of judges ' houses, it was announced that the public could vote for a wildcard from each category bringing the total amount of contestants for the live shows to 16.

For the first time since series six, a major overhaul of the set layout was made as live shows debuted in a new filming location, LH2 Studios in London. Numerous other changes were introduced for this series ' live shows. This included contestant and musical guest performances on both Saturday and Sunday shows, and the removal of the sing - offs, deadlocks and judges ' votes on the Sunday show.
