Simon Cowell has had his work cut out during this series of the X Factor, what with Cheryl Cole getting malaria and Dannii Minogue wandering off to have a baby, but it looks as though he's got a great plan.
Whilst he's obviously been bombarded with questions such as, "when will Cheryl be better?" and "Will Dannii actually come back?" and "Who the hell invited Geri Halliwell to be a guest judge?" he has at least planned a little excitement.
Si-Co has decided to let more people through to the judges houses as well as raising the upper age limit to 28. He said; "Instead of the usual six, eight acts will now go through to the Judges' Houses stage so that Cheryl and Dannii, having missed the auditions, will have the opportunity to choose their finalists from a wider range of talent."
Is it just me or is this SUPER exciting news?
