Storm Lee has become the third act to leave X Factor 2010. After singing Born To Run yesterday, Storm polled the lowest number of votes from the public and so was immediately eliminated.

Storm commented ‘I just want everyone who ever believe in something to never ever give up, because you’ve not seen the best of me yet!’.

No, not the location of the houses the judges live in – instead where contestants are off to for the “judge’s house” section of the competition, where the live finalists are selected.

We’ve been passed a bit of a scoop by an X Factor contestant – the judges categories for this year!
There’s been a bit of a change from previous years in that the ‘overs’ category is now the 28 and Over category – previously it was 25 and over.

The judges categories are:

Simon Cowell – Groups
Louis Walsh – Over 28s
Dannii Minogue – Boys
Cheryl Cole – Girls

Louis Walsh has pre-empted the lack of any offers for him to judge on the possible X Factor USA series by saying “I’ve got enough on”.

X Factor USA, which is due to launch on the Fox network from January 2011, has got Louis’ seal of approval though:

“I think The X Factor would be the biggest show on television anywhere. I think if Simon [Cowell]‘s involved it will be. He wants to be the best, he wants to be the biggest, and he will be.”

Louis later admitted that there was little chance of him being a judge on X Factor USA even if he wanted to be, saying “I haven’t even been asked”.
