Watch out One Direction, there's a new boy band on the scene set to steal the hearts of teenage girls up and down the country...

The new boy band sent X Factor fans into a frenzy with their debut performance at bootcamp over the weekend.

CHERYL 'FORCED' TO BRING BACK CHLOE-JASMINE

The group chose to cover Leona Lewis' 'Run' and each showcased their voices in seperate solos before coming together in harmony.

The judges were left awestruck and pound signs appeared to flash in Simon Cowell's eyes as the group stormed the stage.

CHERYL BOOED DURING SIX CHAIR CHALLENGE: 'WE'RE FACING A RIOT'

'X Factor boy band' (as they are currently known) received a standing ovation for their show-stopping performance.

Now meet the boys (you might recognise a few faces!):

Who are the EIGHT members of the new X Factor boy band?

Jake Sims, 191 of 8

Jake Sims, 19

Jake turned up with his little sister when he sang Stevie Wonder’s ‘Superstition’ to the judging panel. He charmed his way to the arena stages where he gave the judges a rendition of Arctic Monkeys’ When The Sun Goes Down. (Plus he has an adorable Bristol accent!)

Reece Bibby, 152 of 8

Reece Bibby, 15

Reece was nearly turned away by the judges after they became fed up of hearing samey guitar playing audtionees. He impressed them with his unique cover of Disclosure’s ‘Latch’.

Casey Johnson, 193 of 8

Casey Johnson, 19

Essex boy Casey wowed the judges with his room audition (and admitted his hobby was chasing girls!) by blasting out ‘Please Don’t Let Me Go’ by a fellow cheeky chappy, Olly Murs.

Tom Mann, 204 of 8

Tom Mann, 20

Simon was unsure about instant heartthrob Tom when he told the crowd that they would not have the same reaction if he were ugly. Tom proved Simon wrong with an acoustic rendition of Backstreet Boys’ ‘I Want It That Way’.

Barclay Beales, 185 of 8

Barclay Beales, 18

Barclay previously tried his hand a yodelling but decided to put his 'yodelling talents' aside and try his hand at singing. He sang the judges a cover of Robbie Williams’ ‘Angels’ that left Cheryl grinning and the audience cheering. Simon, however, told Barclay that he felt he would be ‘better off in a group’.

Charlie Jones, 146 of 8

Charlie Jones, 14

Charlie impressed the judges with his own take on The Spice Girls’ ‘Wannabe’ where he changed up the lyrics to congratulate Cheryl on her wedding- what a sweetheart! He’s the baby of the band at just 14-years-old.

James Graham, 177 of 8

James Graham, 17

James made a major faux pas during his room audition when he told dog-lover Simon that he didn’t like animals. Luckily, James was able to impress Simon with his amazing voice.

Chris Leonard, 188 of 8

Chris Leonard, 18

Chris recently packed his bags and moved to London from his native Ireland in an effort to make a go with the X Factor boy band. Though he wasn’t featured in the auditions section of the show, he was added to the boy band after becoming known for song covers he posted on YouTube and Twitter.
