Hide AdEducation leader Marilyne MacLaren said: "We want to encourage people from all backgrounds to become foster carers as we need a broad spectrum of people who can look after children in our care.
"X Factor is obviously hugely popular and this approach is a great way for us to get our message to lots of potential carers. A foster home can have a huge impact on a child's life, helping them towards a happy future - it really is a very special role."
