Its August, Which it means it’s time to go on holiday, sunbath and just chill in the sun but it’s also the month that our favourite show starts, The X factor is returning this month and A lot is changing.
The X Factor have been dramatically losing viewers for the last couple of years but this year Simon cowell has promised us a revamp of the show like never seen before or Like we used to see at the start of the show in 2004, We will let you in on what’s we know so far!
When Does the show return?
We have no official date set from ITV but for the last 5 years the show has started at the end of August, But it’s likely to be in the first weekend in September but ITV will be announcing the Launch date in the coming days/weeks.
What is changing?
There will be a big change to the format this year with the Live Shows being cut from 10 to 6 weeks with contestants leaving on Saturday and Sunday each week, Which will see star guests singing on both nights.
Simon has also said he will not be bringing joke act through to live shows like Honey G from last series who got to week 8.
The boot camp stage of the competition will be in front of a studio audience
ITV bosses thought it would be good and bring viewers back if they did auditions at Thorpe Park with footage of the judges riding the rollercoasters.
Who are the judges & Presenters?
If you loved the 2016 line up of judges then you will love them this year as Nicole, Louis, Sharon and Simon are back for another year, Simon said earlier this year that the chemistry on TV was great last year that why he has asked them to return.
Our favourite TV presenter Dermot O’leary is returning as the main host of the ITV show, Which is a great idea.
We are usually waiting to see who the hosts of the Xtra Factor are, Which was presented by Ryan and Matt last year but this year the show has been axed after a decade for a online show to replace it.
This is what we know so far, but keep a look out for any other news on the X Factor, If you have any questions please tweet me at @DanielMcleodEM
