Jamie2k9

Starting early!!

The Xtra Factor has been scrapped for the 2017 series...

Jamie2k9

Judging Panel Announced, no changes. Simon, Sharron, Nicole and Louis.

BGT's starting again tonight, and nobody's getting excited about that either.

Fact of the matter is, both shows have had their day. But of course, ITV and Syco will continue to milk them until there are absolutely no drops left...

Louis Walsh has thrown a spanner in the works by revealing that Mel B could reclaim her seat on the panel because Nicole Scherzinger might be stepping down :rolleyes: oh Lulu he loves talking

I would prefer Mel to Nicole!

Big changes to the live shows - only 6 live shows instead of 10/11 and eliminations on both Saturday and Sundays.

No, the Xtra Factor has been scrapped.

Richard Holloway, managing director at Thames TV, who makes The X Factor, said: "In the past year there has been an increase in digital engagement and online audiences around The X Factor.

"In light of this, ITV's strategy to focus their efforts on digital means The Xtra Factor on linear television has come to its natural end."

Create an apple ID and use a UK postcode and sign in and download before switching to your main ID.
