ITV are still only contractually obliged to take this series, aren't they?


ITV renewed The X Factor and BGT for another three years back in February.

I can't see Cowell allowing himself to lose face by being told the show's getting dropped. I imagine it'll be a case of "I'm stopping the show, and it's all my decision, I definitely wasn't pushed"... in the same way previous hosts and judges adopted the "I'm leaving the show, and it's all my decision, I definitely wasn't pushed."

I don't think the announcement over the contract renewal is official yet? There has not been an official statement by ITV or Simon Cowell.

They can't get rid of X Factor because then they'd lose BGT too. The shows come as a package.

Not true.

No contract has been secured as yet. It's still likely though.

And yes, X Factor and BGT seem to come as a package. At least in Simon's mind. Doubt he'd get anywhere near the same viewing figures for BGT on Sky or even Channel 4 or 5! It's an ITV show.

Can you please do some fact checking before chucking out statements? That's twice in 24 hours you've invented something and claimed it as fact.

I haven't 'invented' it at all. Simon Cowell has said repeatedly BGT and X Factor come as one package. It's a joint deal.

So you've seen the official contract signed by all of the relevant parties?

I would not say they come as a pair. Simon would want to get the most money. If ITV don't want the X factor and only want BGT then Simon will make them pay for it.
