Spice Girl Geri Halliwell has been mocked for being boring in the opening episode of X Factor series seven.
Halliwell stood in for Dannii Minogue at the Glasgow auditions earlier this year, when the Australian judge was on maternity leave from the ITV1 programme.
However, in the launch show, the veteran pop singer and former Popstars: The Rivals mentor is ridiculed for her lengthy verdicts on all the acts.
Mocking Halliwell, Louis Walsh teases: "Geri talks and talks. And some of it makes sense... but not all of it."
The show features a montage sequence, which uses Chas & Dave single 'Rabbit' as the backing track, to highlight the guest judge's habit of giving lengthy comments to each act. During Halliwell's remarks, Walsh, Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell can be seen pulling faces at each other, gesturing that they are bored of hearing her talking. Meanwhile, audience members can be seen falling asleep and yawning.
In each audition show, a different guest judge will introduced to viewers. Natalie Imbruglia's stint in Birmingham is expected to feature in week two.
The X Factor starts on Saturday at 7.30pm.
