If there were to be such a show, I think this would be a realistic lineup. I've tried to go with people who could do with a boost to their careers as well as memorable characters.

Joe McElderry
Shayne Ward
Rylan Clarke

Ella Henderson, Matt Cardle, Niki Evans just missing out 😁

I couldn't choose 4 for each category but that would be my top 16 😳

Over 30s - I'm going to cheat a bit and put Leona in this category as she is 30 in April (and the show would air in August-Dec 2015, of course!)

- Leona Lewis
- Olly Murs
- Kitty Brucknell
Wildcard: Shayne Ward

Girls

- Alexandra Burke

- Ella Henderson
Wildcard: Fleur East

Boys

- Ben Haenow
- Aiden Grimshaw
- Jahmene Douglas
Wildcard: James Arthur

Groups

- JLS
- One Direction
- Litte Mix
Wildcard: Only the Young

If we had this, or this talent level, it would absolutely smash! I'd be gutted to see EVERYONE leave each week, especially with Leona, Alex and Rebecca - aka The Vocal Trinity of X Factor - all in the same series.
