Both arriving by yacht, Tulisa and Nicole Scherzinger look like they will be making quite the entrance on meeting their categories at their respective houses in St Lucia and Dubai.
Joining Gary at his house in Northamptonshire, Cheryl Cole manages to overshadow the Take That judge's laid back entrance by arriving via helicopter.

We wonder if she got Simon to pay for that...
As for Louis Walsh and aide Sharon Osbourne, both seem more than happy in their Las Vegas hotel surroundings.
And it seems that neither is particularly unimpressed with their topless waiter .

As for the contestants, all of them look rather in awe of their surroundings.

They may be all smiles in the group shots but don't be fooled, each and every one of them is probably more focused on how to impress their judge rather than making lifelong friends.

One contestant who seems to realise this is Essex boy Rylan who has dressed to impress for the occasion.

Channelling Kylie Minogue's wardrobe circa 'Can't Get You Out Of My Head', we wonder what guest mentor Tinie Temper will make of Rylan's outfit.
And we thought his shoulder pads made of what looked like Nicole's hair extensions was out there.
