It’s that time of year again. The familiar faces of Sharon, Louis, Simon, Nicole and Dermot are gracing our screens every weekend, introducing their acts for the nation’s favourite talent show; The X Factor.

With wildcard acts like Honey G and Brattavio regularly making headlines, you’d have to have been living under a rock to have missed all the X Factor news this year. So it’s hardly surprising that so many keen bingo players are making the most of the theme in Mecca Bingo’s X Factor bingo room.

Fans of the show will know that The X Factor has a bonus hour of unseen extras on ITV2 called The Xtra Factor. Always sticklers for authenticity, Mecca Bingo have done exactly the same by treating us to a promotion in their X Factor bingo room called – you guessed it – The Xtra Factor.

What’s on Offer?

Thanks to Mecca Bingo, you don’t have to be a star singer to reap the rewards of the X Factor. In fact, you don’t even have to be a fan of the show to enjoy the great game-play and high prizes of the Xtra Factor promo.
