It seems that the X Factor will be having a complete overhaul when the show returns for another series next year with the majority of the judges having already confirmed that they will not be returning.

Gary Barlow revealed that he would not be doing another series during one of the first few live shows but now Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh, who has been a judge on the show for the last ten years have also confirmed that they will not do another series.

There are also strong rumours that Nicole Scherzinger will also follow suit.

There is no news as yet as to who will replace all of the judges but it has been strongly suggested that the show’s boss Simon Cowell will be returning in order to try and save the show from its flagging ratings.

Friend of the show and Gary Barlow’s band mate Robbie Williams is also a strong contender for replacing him after already having appeared as a mentor on the show several times.

A public favourite to claim the role is also Olly Murs who has proved that he has an infectious TV personality after a number of turns presenting.

What is certain is that no final decisions will announced as yet.
