You may recognise some of the faces during the ads on this weekend's The X Factor.

Ralph Cooke from Maidstone and Kerri Colley from Birling in West Malling are set to make their TV debut in front of millions of views, starring in the TalkTalk commercial which airs before and after each break.

Mr Cooke can be seen performing his rendition of Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler, complete with sea-themed special effects, while Ms Colley will lip sync to the same song with her family.

The 38-year-old mum said: “I’ve never been on the TV before so this is really exciting for my family and I! It’s my son’s 10 birthday on the weekend and we’re having a party at our home to celebrate, so we’ll have lots of friends and family over to watch the show.

"We’ve been using the FX Star app loads and I just can’t believe my video has finally been chosen”

The videos have ben made using a new app by The X Factor sponsors TalkTalk, called FX Star, which allows fans to create their own videos for the chance to star on national TV.

Users are able to overlay animated filters on their image as they sing along to hit songs.

Mr Cooke, 36, said: “I’m a diehard fan of The X Factor and love watching the show as part of my Saturday nights. When I realised I could get my face on TV through the FX Star app, I jumped at the chance – I can’t believe I’m going to be on this weekend!”

David Parslow, Marketing Director at TalkTalk commented :“The TalkTalk X Factor ad breaks have become so iconic to the point where they’re almost synonymous with the show. This year’s FX Star is fun, current and entertaining

"Like The X Factor, it celebrates the feel good moments that bring people together and is a chance for our customers, and fans of the show, to enjoy sharing and showcasing their inner pop star.”

This is the 13th season of the hit talent show, which featured Maidstone schoolboy Freddy Parker until he was voted off in the second round.
