OK, OK - so The X Factor is supposed to be about the singing. But is it really that bad for us to have a little gawp at some of the hot boys every once in a while? We're only human!?!?
And you can't blame us really - there have been some seriously hot hotties since the show began in 2004.
So here's an idea. How about getting yourself a cold flannel and having a look through our gallery of the hottest X Factor boys EVER!
