Not again! Sinitta steals Simon Cowell's limelight in yet another outrageous outfit as she welcomes the groups in the judges houses stage of the X factorIt seems Sinitta hasn't lost her canny knack of drawing attention to herself.
While it would be hard to top last years outfit - a clutch of flesh-baring banna leaves - she does her very best on tonight's X Factor.
As Simon Cowell welcomes the groups to his house in Marbella, she wears a silver leotard and over-the-knee black leather boots, completing the superhero effect with a jewelled headband worn over her forehead.
Perhaps Cowell's hoping that her attention-grabbing outfit will distract viewers from his own jeans and white shirt - which appears to be nearly identical to last years.
In fact Cowell has just one question as he greets his ex-girlfriend.
'Do we have a second outfit Sinitta?' she says.
To which she replies 'No!'
She made her first appearance in the banana leaf outfit on the X Factor last summer as she helped Cowell pick his final three actsIn the show Cowell is seen reflecting on his category.
Rather than the top rated girls, as he'd hoped, he has once again been given the groups to mentor.
'Well third time I get the groups,' he tells the camera.
'My initial thought was "I’ve really got the worst one ever" and actually within this category it needs a lot more work and a lot of imagination and a lot of faith.'
The groups: Simon must choose three to go through to the finalSimon has to choose his top three from FYD, 1Direction, Belle Amie, The Reason, Diva Fever, Husstle, Princes & Rogues and Twem.
Simon tells them: 'I don’t want to be working with people I don’t believe in. I want to walk into the finals with people who I believe can win the competition and sell records.
'I think there’s some potential. I think it’s either going to be great or a complete disaster.'
Simon's groups category... who will he choose?
Twem will I be famous?: Parisian twins Medhi and Samir go by the name Twem
FYD: Perhaps it stands for 'fit young dude' - either way, these lads are aged between 21 and 26 and come from London
The Reason: From Southampton, they're aged between 25-29
Husstle: Aged between 18-29, the five piece is from Warrington 
1 Direction: The five piece was thrown together from boot campers who didn't qualify on their own for the judges' houses 
Bell Amie: These girls were given a lifeline at the end of bootcamp and were thrown together
Princes & Rogues: They're aged between 20 and 28 and love Teh Saturdays
Diva Fever: These Leicester based lads hope to make it big
