Would say the Daily Fail is made up without a shadow of a doubt.

Boom, Boom, Gaz! Nice one. LOL.

is this made up? if it is its getting beyond a joke

What do you mean "is this made up"? Its some nobody winding up another nobody - the entire X Factor thing is beyond a joke.

Something quite sinister about that Maloney fella I've never liked.

Barlow has quit X Factor and Tulisa won't be back next year either.

Can't say how I know this, but wait and see.

To be expected really.

My money's on Tom Fletcher from McFly as a replacement for Gary. Reckon Sharon Osbourne will return as well - they've mentioned her too many times in passing for this not to happen.

Gary has DONE Nothing for the X factor, good ridden

Dare I say Chris Moyles will probably go for this? Good relationship with Gary and the other judges (don't know about Nicole), knows his music and probably would be quite good for the show.

In terms of a female judge, Rita Ora impressed me!
