Despite multiple attempts to win the judges over, they received three no&#8217;s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time, the two brothers were just young students. And when they were rejected, Anton decided to go full pelt and sing an entirely different song &#8211; much to Simon Cowell&#8217;s dismay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seb, who pipes up with adlibs like &#8216;move your body&#8217;, is his friend Anton&#8217;s top supporter. He tells Simon, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry but he&#8217;s a good singer. I can&#8217;t take no for an answer.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>TRIBUTE: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/talent-shows\/x-factor\/x-factors-star-on-unbearable-pain-a-year-after-bride-to-be-died-on-wedding-day\">X Factor&#8217;s star on &#8216;unbearable pain&#8217; a year after bride-to-be died on the wedding day<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-judges-were-in-stitches-over-the-audition\">Judges were in stitches over the audition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cheryl Cole found Ant and Seb on The X Factor hilarious. <a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/tag\/simon-cowell\">Simon Cowell<\/a> couldn&#8217;t stifle his laughter and was closely followed by fellow judge Louis Walsh in a laughing fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simon said that it was &#8220;more like Ant and Death&#8221; but Seb couldn&#8217;t let the criticism get in the way of his and Anton&#8217;s success. He says: &#8220;Come on, Simon, we know we&#8217;re good enough.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seb added: &#8220;No disrespect, but we&#8217;ve heard we&#8217;re pretty good.
