X Factor could be about to make a TV comeback following news the show's boss Simon Cowell has secured a "big-money deal". Due to low ratings, the singing competition was axed from ITV five years ago, but the entrepreneur is planning to revive the show with a new series in 2023, according to the Daily Star.
An industry source said: “It has been decided that the time is right to bring X Factor back. It’s really exciting. Everyone who will be working on the new series can’t wait to get started. 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.”
After top secret talks, the Daily Star has revealed Simon, who is also a judge on Britain's Got Talent, has struck a big-money deal with a production company, and is set to meet with production bosses at a string of channels over the next few months - meaning there is a possibility the show will not air on ITV again.
