'The X Factor' will not hold auditions in Dublin this year, because of the addition of a new audition venue in the UK.
According to The Sun, the judges will not travel to Ireland this year because Liverpool has been added to the audition list.
A show spokesperson reportedly said: "We are not going to Ireland this year."
Another source also added: "There are only so many places we can go for auditions. We went to Dublin last year but we haven't been to Liverpool so we thought we should do it this year."
"Obviously this is a blow to the Irish contestants but it's only a short hop across the Irish Sea to Liverpool."
