X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne has said she is hoping to find “a fabulous girl that’s got a great voice, no tits and ass” for the show this year.

Osbourne, 64, made the comments as the Liverpool auditions for this year’s instalment of the ITV series got under way.

Asked if she had anything specific in mind she added: “I’m looking for a great girl… a fabulous girl that’s got a great voice, no tits and ass, just somebody that’s really talented.”

Two years later Payne returned to the audition stage and was more successful when he was recruited as a member of One Direction.

Osbourne appeared to take subtle aim at Canadian pop star Justin Bieber, who found fame at a very young age after posting his singing videos on YouTube.

“No, I’d like to find somebody yes who is young, but very grounded and actually knows what they are doing and knows how hard this business is and has a great work ethic.

“Somebody that’s grounded but young.”

The start date of the new series has not yet been confirmed, but Dermot O’Leary will return to front the popular show.
