It will probably end up with one of the judges from Soapstar Superstar.

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




Perhaps a job swap is in order - Kate be pretty decent on BB IMO, and likewise with Davina on The X Factor.

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


Completly agree regarding American Idol - they at least need to have someone sober!

Any chance of them bringing back the original Mr Nasty in the form of Nigel Lythgoe I wonder. He of course went on to produce American Idol and is now a judge on one of the US talent shows - can't recall which one though!



P.S. Talking of Soapstar Superstar Zoe Ball seems to have been making a bit of a comeback of late.

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?



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


It doesn't matter what the X Factor producers want anymore - ITV are calling the shots. They never learn do they. Rolling Eyes

I wouldnt mind Nicky Chapman as a new judge, or even Paula from American Idol. She worked well as a guest judge on X Factor IMO.

I hope it isnt Ant and Dec who host this - I think it will be extremely unlikely what with all the other ITV shows they host such as Takeaway.

I reckon Philip Schofield could be a good presenting choice. Wouldn't surprise me if even someone like June Sarpong MBE gets the role.

We all know it'll just be Ben Shepherd though.

I'm sure (and hope) Simon will find suitable candidates for the judging panel.

God, no June Sarpong and hell no Phillip Schofield!

I liked Kate Thornton, I'm quite shocked they axed her. They better find a decent, and I mean decent replacement for her.

Taking the mickey out of Kate was half the fun of watching the show, I'm not totally shocked they did seem to be edging her out on the last series. Even so I actually think having a presenter without too much personality is good for the show it lets you concentrate on the acts and the judges.

Kate devasted apparantly after being (publically) assured her position was secure.

Fearne Cotton would be good IMO.

I'd certiainly like to see either Nigel Lythgoe or Nikki Chapman return to the fold.

I just hope for God's sake it's not that Billy tool off Soapstar Superstar (he only talks about the costumes...) or Richard Park (good radio programmer, dire Fame Academy judge),
