Meanwhile an X Factor spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘There is always speculation regarding the judging panel. It’s too early to confirm the judges for the next series.’

Following on from this, sources hinted that her co-stars, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh, would remain on the judging panel, as ITV refused to pay out the remainder of their fees for terminating their contracts early.

A source told The Mail On Sunday: ‘Louis and Sharon have to stay. Both made it clear they were going nowhere and they would fight for their jobs.

‘Not only would the cost to get rid of them run into several million, so would the stars who would take over. It is just not a feasible option, they will be back alongside Simon.

‘But the big issue here is that it means Simon can’t go young again, he can’t get a team of young talent in to appeal to a new audience.

‘Instead, he will have to stick with what he has got – and accept that his loyal audience is much older than he had believed.’
