X Factor: Jade Richards returns after stunning transformation!

All the latest news and gossip from The X Factor...

Jade Richards wowed the judges on last year's X Factor and anyone who's anyone thought Kelly Rowlands was insane to ditch her at the Judges Homes stage. Thankfully the voice of an angel from Fife is back and to top things off, she's lost weight, changed her image and built up her confidence through gigging.

Can you believe the difference?

Thanks to hard work and perseverance, Jade's wowed the judges once more. After failing to make the live shows in 2011 she knew she had to do something, so she picked herself up, stuck to a strict diet and gained as much experience as she could through performing live. There's such an improvement! If she doesn't make the live shows this time, then even I'll start shouting fix.

Sorry ITV but come on, this girl's got 'likeability' and 'feel good factor' written all over her. Okay, she has tattoos all over her but you know what I mean.

After her 2012 audition Louis Walsh couldn't believe the transformation: “You’re looking totally different – you’re looking great.”

Tulisa Contostavlos was in awe: “That vocal doesn’t even need to be judged or commentated on, it speaks for itself.”


And guest judge Anastacia added: “I have hairs on my body that are standing up that I didn’t know existed.”


Jade was devastated not to make the live finals in 2011. "It made me more determined to come back – it puts some fire into you.”


The photos are unbelievable. Did you recognise her? Go on Jade!

Although Kelly's surname isn't 'Rowlands' - it's Rowland

Got to admit, I don't see a stunning transformation. Yes she has lost a bit of weight and the hideous  bow has gone, but that's about it.

I liked her last year and I am really glad to see her back .I thought her voice was great, and still do, that is what she should be judged upon.

 I hope she does well, but lets stop exaggerating the extent of the transformation.

Go for it Jade.

Hard evidence as to how shallow and vaccuous the show is when a really good voice is rejected and then raved over; not because she has gotten better necessarily, but because she's lost weight.

'Bout sums it up really.

Kelly Rowland was right not to have Jade in her final four last year. It wasn't that Jade wasn't good enough. It was just that the girls were such a strong category last year. She might not make the live finals again this year if she has the same quality of competition she had last year.
