And we have the perfect lift to get you in the spirit for another annual dose of the hit show.
We gathered up 13 images of Sunderland, Newcastle and South Tyneside people auditioning for the 2007, 2008 and 2009 competitions.
They waited patiently in the massive queues outside St James’s Park, hoping to be picked.
Relive those amazing memories once more and then get in touch to tell us more.
