‘The X Factor’ UK spoilers: Is Overload, Concept, or someone else wild card for Louis Walsh?

We didn’t expect to get anything close to confirmation on an “X Factor” UK wild-card act until the start of the live shows this weekend, but sometimes, we are pretty happy to be pleasantly surprised.

While this is unconfirmed, a source tells the Daily Mail that it is popular boy band Overload who got the wild-card spot for Team Louis Walsh, as they saw them outside of where all of the contestants are staying. If this is true, it would be quite a landmark decision, given that these boys did not even make it to Judges’ Houses. It would still be rather embarrassing for Louis, though, given that he picked two people in Blonde Electra (formerly known as Blonde Electric) who possess very little in the way of actual singing talent.

Some have sleuthed that Lola Saunders is the choice for the Girls, after she was supposedly spotted during “The Xtra Factor.” This is probably correct, though we have seen the stills that are out there and we cannot 100% confirm that it was her. The category we’re admittedly the most curious about is the Overs. Louis said on TV this week that he actually chose an act for Cheryl and not for Simon Cowell, which means that someone else may selected between Stevi Ritchie, Helen Fulthorpe, or Lizzy Pattinson. This is an interesting choice, since you have an act that is pure talent, but then one that is pure camp. It’s hard to know which one is going to win out there.

For the time being, though, we can tell you that there will be some more news pertaining to “The X Factor” up over at the link here. Also, be sure to sign up to snag more TV scoop on all we cover via our CarterMatt Newsletter today.
