The judges are back for round two of the auditions and the competition is heating up.

Paloma Faith and Boy George make sure to keep a close eye on one another as a violinist, a painter and a veteran singer take to the stage in a bid to win them over.

Here's are pick of what to look out for:

1) A singing martial artist

Chase Morton has been crowned world kickboxing champion and is in the UK Top 30 for cage fighting, but the “singing martial artist” is ready to be put through his paces in front of the judges. Morton takes on Sly and the Family Stone’s If You Want Me To Stay – but will it be enough to take him through to the next round?

2) Paloma Faith V. Boy George

Following in the footsteps of their predecessor Tom Jones, the pair become embroiled in a name-dropping battle. Boy George throws out Luther Van Dross, Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson and Faith retaliates with Prince. Not wanting to be outdone the Culture Club singer takes it to the next level and jokes that he has slept with Prince.

3) A drag queen

Last week Boy George told one wannabe that he could make her so famous that “drag queens will be impersonating" her. This week he comes face-to-face with Drag queen Divina De Campo. Dressed in towering heels, Di Campo takes on Poor Wandering One by Gilbert and Sullivan from The Pirates of Penzance – and even gets Faith up on her feet.
