The X Factor 2013 Teaser Trailer Released

A teaser trailer has been released for the forthcoming series of The X Factor - and it reveals that the small audition room has returned.

The one-minute promo clip is shot from the point of view of a hopeful in the contest; collecting a number, sitting and waiting and then being ushered into the room by host Dermot O'Leary.

It then switches from black and white to colour as we see a montage of acts performing for the judges - including Sharon Osbourne.

The trailer finishes with the launch date, Saturday, 31 August - and Gary Barlow telling fans to subscribe to the show's YouTube channel.

We told you yesterday how Gary is claimed to be leaving the show after this year.
