Hello Great Britain and Hello World! We're very live on this Friday evening and this is the first ever live show of X Factor: Second Chances

It has been a grueling week for our judges as they cut down eight acts to just only three. On our last show, we saw Juan choose the three acts he thought deserved a second chance in the competition and will be under him in the Underdogs category.

Our twelve acts are now ready to face the competition and the theme for tonight is This Is Me. A week wherein our acts will perform songs that represent them as an artist. A perfect week to make an impression to the public. They better make an impression tonight as one act will saying goodbye to the competition.

Now enough with those intros and let's welcome your Second Chances judges and the top 12

Judges, please confirm your presence if you already here right now.

Great two of four judges present and I have Juan's comments with me. I guess Soap will be here in a little while.

The dice takes a big part of the game. As it would decide the weekly twist we will have and it will be rolled before the start of the show.

To start things off the first live show, we start with our first dice roll of the series.

Here are what each phase of the dice represents, landing on it will be tonight's twist.



Are you ready? What twist are you excited for?

Great reception for Melanie opening the night except the note on the song choice from Riley. Will we still see Melanie on the Second Chances stage? It's up to your vote.

Now, we move to the first of the Overs, will her elastic heart prove why she deserves to stay in this competition? Here is... Janet Grogan
