This is just what we need, more boy bands! We've been following the progress of The Collective from X-Factor Australia for the past couple weeks, but recently we've been hearing a lot about the boy bands of X-Factor UK. Union J and District 3. Let's take a look at them, shall we?
We'll start with Union J. Jamie "JJ" Hamblett (24), George Shelley (19), Josh Cuthbert (20), Jaymi Hensley (22). According to their X-Factor bio, Jaymi, Josh and JJ auditioned for The X Factor as a three piece called Triple J and got through to Bootcamp. After Rough Copy left the show, Louis asked them to come back to the competition for Judges Houses and where he added George to the group. They then became Union J.
Here's a look at Union J meeting the boys of One Direction backstage last week.

And here's their most recent performance, a mash-up of Leona Lewis and James Morrison and the judges absolutely loved it.
Now onto District 3. Is it just us or does their name remind you a lot of The Hunger Games? Anyway, formally known as GMD3, District 3 is made up of Greg West (18), Micky Parsons (18) and Dan Ferrari-Lane (19). And according to their X-Factor bio, the trio have been best friends for over five years now.
Here's District 3 with Liam and Niall from One Direction.

And here's their recent performance of "I Swear" by All 4 One, which despite 3 of 4 judges loving it, landed them in the bottom two during the results show on Sunday (October 14). We're happy to report though that they DID move on!
Now that we've introduced you to both and you've seen their most recent performances from the show, which one are you a fan of?
