This comes after it was confirmed Louis Walsh will not be back for the new series after 11 years on the show as the longest-standing judge.

Simon Cowell confirmed the news on Sunday, May 10 via Twitter, tweeting: "Louis Walsh is one of the good guys. We will always be friends. The door remains open and who knows what's next."

Rumours began circulating this week that BBC Radio 1 presenter Nick Grimshaw would be Louis' replacement, but Digital Spy was told by an X Factor spokesperson that "No formal decisions have been made regarding the full panel for this year's series."

Dermot O'Leary has also left the show as main presenter, with Caroline Flack and Olly Murs taking over.
