Rumours are rife that Louis Walsh won’t be returning to the X Factor this year, and now show bosses have admitted the judges are being “looked at.”
ITV producers have revealed the show is set to get some major changes next season, and said each judge will be looked at, except for Simon Cowell.
“There will be some exciting changes. The name of the show will stay the same but we are looking at format and the judges.
“There will be some surprises this year. But I can’t go into detail,” show boss Richard Holloway said.

“It is safe to say Simon is staying,” he told the Mirror.
“We have been making the show for 10 years and to make it popular you have to refresh the show,” he added.
The news comes after Louis admitted he would love to start an Irish version of Britain’s Got Talent.
Last year Cheryl made her big return to the X Factor alongside Simon Cowell, with Mel B recruited as a new judge.
