The news emerged after tickets for the show were released on audience ticketing site Applause Store.

The show’s new host Caroline Flack recently confirmed that the intimate room auditioned had been scrapped for the new series, as part of a shake-up to the show's format.
Simon Cowell is due to return to the panel, along with Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, with Nick Grimshaw and Rita Ora rumoured to be replacing axed judges Mel B and Louis Walsh.
Caroline will be presenting the show with her former ‘Xtra Factor’ co-host, Olly Murs, following the news that Dermot O’Leary had quit the show, after eight years at the helm.
‘The X Factor’ is expected to return to screens in August.
