Judges on The X factor TV show wowed fans as they arrived in Glasgow for the latest auditions.
Former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger basked in the sun as she arrived with fellow judges Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow and Sharon Osbourne, at the Grosvenor Hilton Hotel in the West End.
Sharon was greeted by two topless butlers from Scots firm Magic Mark Butlers, who wore purple kilts and escorted the 60-year old judge inside to greet the contest hopefuls.
The judge said: "I can't even begin to put into words how I feel, I'm overwhelmed."
Auditions were held for the 10th series of the show in the top Glasgow venue, where the hotel bar was transformed into hair and make-up stations.
Louis was first to arrive at the five-star hotel in a black Mercedes car with registration plate 'X4' and said he was "delighted" to be in Scotland.
Louis said: "I'm looking forward to it but we have to find talent, the job is starting now."
He was followed closely by Nicole, who drove crowds wild with her bright red stilettos.
She said: "I love being here and it's a gorgeous day. I'm looking to see some great talent."
Boy band favourite Gary arrived a few minutes later, sending some fans crazy as they asked for his autograph and took their picture with the Take That star.
Stephanie Franks, 21 and friend Caroline McNairn, 20, were waiting to catch a glimpse of the judges when they arrived.
Stephanie, a home carer from Bishopbriggs, said she liked Nicole as she was "a good role model".
Evelyn Lowey, 31, from Yoker, is a "big Take That fan" and had come specially to take a peek at judge Gary.
She said: "I don't miss an opportunity when he comes into Glasgow."
Ricky Just, 19 and Paul Edgar, 16, both students from Darnley, waited for two hours at the hotel.
"We've been big fans of The X Factor since it started," Ricky said.
