Cheryl has said that The X Factor will need a complete revamp in order for it to return in the future - which would include certain categories scrapped.
For years, the ITV singing show was considered a Saturday TV staple, with families glued to the telly and its contestants becoming huge pop stars - from Leona Lewis and Alexandra Burke to Little Mix and One Direction.
But from 2011, viewing figures began to decline and in 2019, boss Simon Cowell decided to rest the programme. Instead, two mini spin-off series aired that year - The X Factor : Celebrity and The X Factor: The Band, but neither attracted anywhere near the same viewing figures the show garnered in its heyday. Two years later, ITV confirmed that there were no plans for another series to air on the channel.
