Takeaway hasn't been confirmed just yet, which I can only assume is because the boys haven't signed for another few years with ITV yet.

Im so glad Louis Walsh wont be a judge this year - never liked him much at all.

I like Kate Thornton so its a shame she wont be presenting this year. I wonder who they will replace her with. I wouldnt mind if it was Ben - just hope its now someone awful!

As for having a 4th category, thats a good idea and gives more variety.

I guess it was rumoured for a while that Kate was getting the chop. I personally liked her as the presenter.

How will the judge's "voting" work during the auditions? I assume Simon will have the deciding vote if two judges say yes and two say no... not very fair IMO.

I do hope it is not the awful Ben Shepherd. Keep him in the closet I say. Davina McCall? Although, does Big Brother take place at the same time? I think there is a one week overlap?

Yes - I'm sure replacing Kate Thornton will be a good thing - she has done a good job over the past 3 years but now the programme needs someone who is going to put the life and vigour into the party and breathe new life into the X Factor with their unique personality.

In which case, I don't think Ben Shepherd or Fearne Cotton are likely candidates.

It would be great to see Pete Waterman back on board - if not to support him, but to laugh at his decisions! Laughing

if Ant n Dec renew the ITV contract, i bet £50 X factor will pick them. If they don't i certanly hope its not Phillip Scofield! Razz

The auditions at least overlap too - and I'd be surprised if X Factor producers wanted someone so linked with another show anyhow.

bad bad bad itv - reducing the age limit to 14!!?? honestly, a £1 mil recording contract at that age, thats really bad. 16 was a good age to start the categories.

and dropping kate!!! why - its like droping davina from BB

hopefully the new judge wont be somebody from american idol
would really like it to be nicky chapman though - somebody genuine
