Simon Cowell will return to the UK X Factor in a deal that will make him the highest paid entertainer ever, according to reports.

The deal - which will also see him remain with Britain's Got Talent - will last for three years, apparently.

The Sun claims that the deal will only be final when Cowell is released from his contract with the US version of the singing show, though it's unlikely the US X Factor will be cancelled as despite its declining ratings, it's still a steady performer and relatively cheap to produce.

If that happens, the paper claims that Cowell will receive just half the amount due to a clause in the contract, which still works out at a healthy £4.15 million a year.

A source said: “ITV are preparing for him to return to the UK X Factor and BGT so have structured the deal to take in both shows.

“If he only does one then he won’t get the full package — but everyone is hopeful that will not be the case.”

Last month Cowell inked a deal to ensure that both shows would return to ITV until at least 2016 in a deal worth a reported £150m.

At the time the X Factor supremo said: "I am thrilled that we have extended our deal with ITV for Britain's Got Talent and the X Factor. They have been fantastic partners and we have some exciting new plans to take the shows to the next level."

The X Factor's 10th run was won by former prison officer Sam Bailey, but the final was the least watched since the first series.

EXCLUSIVE: Simon's back to Blighty! Cowell returns to X Factor UK as he promises changes for US edition

Simon Cowell is making a grand comeback to the UK X Factor - after quitting the show three years ago to head up the US edition, MailOnline can reveal.
The music mogul, 54, will return to the judging panel this August and is currently sealing a deal with ITV chiefs in the UK.
Cowell - whose baby son with girlfriend Lauren Silverman is due next month - has already talked about making format changes to the X Factor USA if it returns for a fourth season.

UK X Factor executive producer Mark Sidaway appeared to give the game away when he tweeted this week: 'Big meeting at Syco Towers with the boss today. Am excited by our ideas for 2014 and the mighty X Factor.'
And a source told MailOnline today: 'There was a big meeting at over at Syco's London offices last week with Simon.
'All the producers went and the last season was reviewed and everyone agreed that the best change for the UK X Factor is Simon's return. It's what the audience really wants.'
ITV originally discussed Cowell's return to the UK show in September while agreeing a deal for a new three-year renewal deal for the talent show, and the source said: 'It was made very clear to Simon that everyone was desperate for him to be back on the UK X Factor panel.'

The UK network are also keenly aware the X Factor show has lost out to in the ratings battle to BBC rival, Strictly Come Dancing - the UK version of Dancing With The Stars - ever since Cowell departed and gave his chief judge seat to Take That star Gary Barlow.
It is as yet unclear whether Cowell will return to the X Factor USA after a faltering few seasons. Demi Lovato has also quit - and the show has suffered in going up against NBC's The Voice and being taken off air mid season during baseball's world series aired by Fox.
X Factor producers are due to meet with Fox in February to discuss the 4th season and major format changes as well as how to overcome the usual sports scheduling clashes.

A source said: 'US producers want Simon back in the US - or to fly between two countries every week. But this is something he has previously said he didn't want to do and with the arrival of his baby son this year it will be even harder.'
Speaking in December, Cowell said he was ready for some shake-ups on the US show, including making changes on the judging panel, which last season was made up of him, Kelly Rowland, Demi and Paulina Rubio.

He said: 'I think that we're gonna have a very crowded marketplace. What we have with X Factor is a huge core fan base that loves the show, but we have got to be more than that. We're in the middle of a conversation about, 'This is what we think the show should look like, what the fans would like,' so my role may change, but I can't say any more than that.'
Currently, Cowell is in the UK filming Britain;s Got Talent - but will fly back to New York for the birth of his baby son, to be named Simon Jr - next month.

It would be a blow to Simon Cowell's ego if the US X Factor did get cancelled.

Absolutely. He doesn't like failure, read his biography and he's really quite arrogant.

The rumoured new line-up :umm2:

[Beastie]

Thank God he is coming back. I would love it to be Simon, Cheryl, Dannii and Louis again. Don't think Dannii will come back. Hopefully Simon, Cheryl, another feisty female and Louis. Sharon is a rubbish judge now. She was more constructive back in the day. Now all she says is "fabulous" or something irrelevant. Nicole is replaceable. Lily Allen would be a good judge but her and Chezza don't get on.

The X Factor's 10th run was won by former prison officer Sam Bailey, but the final was the least watched since the first series.
