Star in your own TalkTalk Mix Off Music Video

TalkTalk’s Mix Off is a new, free app that creates amazing music videos, with you as the star! Create one of the best, and you could appear on TV!

TalkTalk are the proud sponsors of this year's X Factor and they are giving fans the chance to get close to the talent with their Mix Off app, by creating amazing music videos, which could appear during the show's ad breaks.

With funky effects and some of today's top tunes to choose from, you can go solo or perform with a friend and upload the video to the Mix Off gallery.

How it works:

Step 1: Select your track (choose from Fancy, Salute, Royals, Happy, Ghost and more) and video style (such as Kaleidoscope, Word Art or Street Art) and customise it with colour.

Step 2: Record your performance - sing along, dance like crazy, make funny faces and have fun for 12 seconds.  Lyrics show on screen o you know the words.

Step 3: Mix it up by adding up to three other performances to your video.

There are some top tips on how to make a stand out video including using a plain white background, playing with camera angles and dressing up.  You can unleash your inner pop star and have a lot of fun with this app!

You can upload the finished videos to the gallery and you can watch other people's Mix Off videos.

Chicago Town...the Only Pizza with X-Factor

Ever since X Factor returned to our screens, Saturday night's entertainment has been sorted!  Whether you are a fan of Johnny, The Risk or Marcus, nothing beats sitting down with the family and rooting for your favourite act.  And things have got even bigger and better with the return of the Chicago Town X Factor Pizza.  It's the perfect accompaniment to a big night in for fans of meaty pizzas.  To add to the fun, on every pack there is a code to get a free music download which also enters you into a prize draw to win a share of £2.5 million of amazing prizes including X Factor goodies, cash and pizza vouchers.

We had a Chicago Town Pizza Night before watching the X Factor Results show.  My parents and my nephew Tom were happy to tuck into the X Factor Pizza while the rest of us enjoyed a Chicago Town Takeaway Cheese Pizza.  This kept everybody happy!

The X Factor Pizza is made from Chicago Town's famous fresh dough that rises in the oven.  It's generously topped with Xtra large pepperoni, spicy beef, regular pepperoni, red onion and a special BBQ sauce.  The crust is stuffed with the sauce too.  It is  a pizza that has the X Factor.

Ready for the Oven!!

The pizza cooked perfectly on its oven proof base and the dough rose a treat.  With the smell of freshly baked pizza wafting around the kitchen, everyone was ready to tuck in to Chicago Town's finest!!

X Factor Pizza

Tom, my mum and my dad sampled the X Factor Pizza.  They loved the tang of the BBQ sauce and the meaty topping.  My dad loved the sauce stuffed crust.  There was much oohing and ahhing at the intensely flavoursome slices!  Meanwhile the Cheese Pizza with tomato sauce stuffed crust went down equally well.  What a fabulous feast for us all!

Tucking in with Chicago Town.

Everyone Happy with their Pizzas!

"This Pizza has the X Factor!!"
