ESSEX X Factor hopefuls Olly Murs and Stacey Soloman can count on the support of staff at Southend seafront’s main attractions.

Employees at Adventure Island, Sea-Life Adventure and the Three Shells Beach Café have been telling TV audiences who they think should win the X Factor.

A film crew from the Xtra Factor - ITV2’s Sunday night X Factor spin-off show, presented by Holly Willoughby - visited Southend seafront to find out what the staff at the three local attractions think of the contestants on the hit ITV1 show.

Their comments will be featured on this weekend’s show, broadcast on Sunday, November 22 at 9pm on ITV2.
