Budding singers queued to audition for the X Factor when its mobile unit visited the Prospect Centre in Hull on Saturday.
About 200 were hoping to get through to the second stage of the competition in Manchester.
Jane Watkins, 29, from Hull impressed judges with her version of Plan B's song She Said.
She said: "I'm still shaking from my audition. It was so nerve-racking but I am really excited that I have got through to the next stage. Fingers crossed I do well in Manchester."
Hull singer Ryan Mathie, who took part in the mobile audition last year before making it all the way to the judge's houses, returned to the Prospect Centre to support the singers hoping to follow in his footsteps.
He said: "It's really strange being back here a year on since I first auditioned, but it is great to be able to support people."
