Simon Cowell has enlisted the advice of former mentor Sinitta regarding a possible return for X Factor.
Just a few weeks after rumours surfaced of a revival, it looks like Simon Cowell is already getting help for the possible new series. The former judge is reportedly in talks with multiple production companies and bosses at a string of channels which means X Factor may not return to ITV if it is picked up again.
A source speaking to the Daily Star said: "Things are in the early stages at the moment. But the wheels are definitely in motion. It is hoped that production will begin at the end of the year." Set for a big shake-up, the source added Simon Cowell wants to take the show back to its roots and return to a more competition-focused programme instead of the "razzle-dazzle" of later years.
