In related news, it’s been reported that even though Dannii’s been lined up to return to the X Factor during the live stages of the new show, her future at ITV is under threat and some reports suggest her contract will not be renewed.
A TV insider revealed:
“Some very senior figures hoped she would step aside so they could find a new judge and keep some degree of continuity between the auditions and the live shows.”
Apparently it’s “no secret that her determination to do this year’s show annoyed people” and now that Simon Cowell’s taken a shining to Nicole Scherzinger she could become a regular fixture on next years show.
Sheesh, we’re only one episode in and they’re already talking about next years contracts, *rolls eyes* it’s going to a long few months.
