Harry Hill's X Factor Musical For London Palladium

Harry Hill's stage musical based on The X Factor is set to open at the prestigious London Palladium, it has been revealed.

Called It's Time to Face the Musical!, casting for the show will begin in May - and it will open next spring.

The musical tells the story of a girl called Chenice who lives in a caravan with her grandfather - and hasn't heard of The X Factor because he is in an iron lung that blocks TV signals.

According to Digital Spy, Rebecca Quigley, UK managing director of Stage Entertainment, said: "It's going to be quite a wacky big show.

"Louis Walsh and Cowell are characters in the show - which will feature 19 new songs - along with others you might recognise, but who have different names.

"We learn why [SiCo] wears his trousers high."

We told you earlier today how Tulisa has denied she has been axed from The X Factor.
