Might X-Factor have all new judges this year?
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 21 February 2011
There was more speculation this weekend that both Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole will be missing from the next UK series of ‘X-Factor’, as both commit to judging roles on the new American version of the show.
Louis Walsh had previously indicated both Cowell and Cole would be appearing on ‘X-Factor USA’ and therefore not have time to judge on the UK programme, though it is thought ITV bosses are eager to not lose two judges in one go and negotiations are therefore ongoing.
The latest tabloid speculation, though, is that Walsh might not get a look in either. The News Of The World says that, facing the prospect of losing half of their judges, ITV bosses are thinking about a dramatic relaunch of the UK version of ‘X’ with a totally new judging panel.
Word has it Robbie Williams and Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger, who filled in for Cole when she was off ill last series, have both been approached about judging roles. As auditions are due to kick off next month, presumably ITV are hoping to have their two or four new judges in place soon.
