Just when you think X Factor’s shake-ups couldn’t get any more radical – today The Sun has reported that there will be not four, not five but quite possibly SIX judges on each of this year’s X Factor live finals. Alongside Grimmy, Rita, Cheryl and Simon would sit Louis Walsh and more interestingly an ‘iconic’ musician each week such as Dolly Parton or the fired Voice judge Tom Jones.
It’s all in a bid to rekindle the show with older viewers, who have possibly felt left out by the chart-savvy Rita, Nick and Olly, and have as a result resorted to the warm and positively old-fashioned Strictly vibes. X Factor’s live show shake-ups have seen mixed results in the past, as whilst additions like wildcards go down well, the ‘flash vote’ back in 2013 was scrapped after just three shows.
Who do you want to see as a guest judge on this year’s X Factor? Let us know in the comments below…
