'X Factor' bosses 'can't confirm judges'

[Samishlol]

The X Factor producers have revealed that they cannot yet confirm whether all four judges will be returning for the next series of the ITV1 talent show.

Accepting the award for best reality series at last night's Digital Spy Reality TV Awards, series producer Mark Sidaway admitted that they could not clear up rumours that they were looking to recruit a new judge.

"[We can't confirm] at the moment but we're confident that whatever the shape of the judging panel, the show will be as successful as it's always been," he said.

Talkback Thames executive producer Andrew Llinares revealed that around 200,000 people had applied for the sixth series of the show, adding that the categories for this year's contest had not been confirmed.

When asked why the audition age had been raised back up to 16, Sidaway said: "Every year we want to make sure that we change elements of the show, freshen it up and that, for us, felt like the right move this year."

I wonder if Sharon will ever come back...?

I want it to be Simon, Sharon and Cheryl.

I can't stand Louis or Danni, but I don't really mind if Louis is in it because he has been there since the start.

I hope they get rid of dannii tbh

[Imosae]

Get rid of that Dannii i don't like and a few in this world don't either she is always late for auditions because she is judgeing the crappy so called show '' Australia's Got Talent ''

I watched Piers Morgan interviewing Sharon Osbourne on his show a couple of weeks back, she said she would only return if Dannii Minogue wasn't in it.

[Samishlol]

And cheryl is only returning in dannii does lol

[Rock]

At first I thought Cheryl hated Danii. Piers anyone?

[Meri-Boost]

Danni was only in it for the ride, Sharron forever

[Thored]

Sharron, Louis, and Simon. The conflict between them was sometimes more entertaining than the show. Bring back Sharron!

Dannii returned to the X Factor, darmn it.
