First look at this year’s X Factor Judges’ Houses – LOOK! Tulisa’s back and she’s in a bikini!

Now we know we're probably getting ahead of ourselves here, because we haven't even had that nasty 'six chairs' episode of* The X Factor *yet, but look - just look - it's the first photos from this year's Judges' House!

So who's helping our lovely judges - Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Cheryl Cole (Fernandez-Versini), and Mel B?

Well first things first, it's only bleedin' Tulisa helping out her ol' pal Louis, isn't it?! And by jove, check out that James Bond-esque entrance. And before we all think Ireland's had a MASSIVE makeover recently, Louis is NOT in his native Emerald Isle to choose his three Groups - he's in Bermuda!

Surprise, surprise - Sinitta's helping Simon out in Los Angeles with the Over 25s.

Cheryl's invited her Crazy Stupid Love buddy Tinie Tempah to her fancy pad in Nice, which is where the pair will be picking the Girls category.

And finally, Mel B's got her Spice gal pal Emma Bunton with her in Mexico to make a decison on the Boys.

EXCITING!
