X Factor auditions hit Croke Park today

X Factor auditions will kick off in Dublin's Croke Park today.

Those who want to enter the singing show can do so by registering online, turning up at the venue, or sending a video to the competition's website.

Mobile audition vans will also be visiting smaller towns and cities across Ireland and the UK searching for the next big star.

The X Factor will return to television screens later in the year.
