View Full Version : Grimmy and Caroline quit The X Factor

NICK Grimshaw and Caroline Flack are leaving The X Factor after just a year in a shake-up by axeman boss Simon Cowell.
Radio 1 presenter Grimmy’s exit comes after a difficult debut year as a judge on the hit ITV talent show, where he faced private criticism from Cowell behind the scenes about his lacklustre performances contributing to a ratings slump.
He made the decision to walk at Christmas after weeks of rumours he would be replaced by One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson.

I like Caroline. Grimmy should never have been there in the first place but sacking him isnt gonna turn the show around.

Why wouldn't you axe Olly too :umm2:

Screaming @ the picture
Louis pretty much definitely coming back then (somewhere Jack_ is screaming with delight), shame Caroline is gone when she was superior to Olly (although lbr both were woeful).
I can't see why Cheryl would leave tbh, and it's unlikely they'll push her to go

I think she will be pushed as this year is make or break and I can see a whole new panel

Olly and that dreadful Rita gone is all this show needs now. Cheryl can stay or go I wouldn't care either way.

Bring back Dannii and all will be saved

Caroline quit as she is expected to take the lead role in the West End revival of Chicago
Jack.

I can see Rita Leaving aswell as she will probably want to return to the voice again when it comes to ITV. Olly has to be sacked. If they still want two presenters they could promote Rochelle and Melvin or If Marvin isn't wanted for the voice on ITV X factor could do a husband and wife presenting. Judging wise Simon will stay so will Cheryl I would assume with Louis From 1D and Probably someone like Jess Glynne will probably be the fourth judge.
Ross.
18-02-2016, 10:41 PM
I would want to throw myself off a cliff if Jess Glynne and Louis Tomlinson were announced as the new judges
Jack_
18-02-2016, 10:41 PM
YAS thank **** now do the right thing and bring back King Louis and admit your dreadful mistake last year :cheer2: no1curr about Louis Tomlinson
Feel sorry for Caroline but this is very strange if Olly isn't axed too? Had it not been for Dermot's comments and Simon's response a few weeks ago I'd have been inclined to say they'd bring him back too but alas maybe that's too much to hope for :( personally I think they should pass him the cheque book
Denver
18-02-2016, 10:43 PM
I'd love it to be
Davina as host
Simon, Pink, Tom Jones, Tulisa and Louis as judges and introduce a 5th category

We might see a three Male one female panel as Simon will see that it worked well in Oz. So we might end up with Louis W, Louis T,Cheryl,Simon maybe.

Tom Jones will probably go back to the voice with Rita instead of doing X factor. Simon,Tulisa Louis are realistic not so much Pink.

No syco denied the rumours that had been told about the show being rested they basically said it will go on for years.

I would allow icons Nicole and Sharon but Louis needs to go then to make room for the star Dannii

Simon, Dannii, Louis and Tulisa would be my ideal panel tbh. Bring Dermot back too, scrap the live judges houses and do 10 weeks of live shows again

18-02-2016, 10:53 PM
Simon-Cheryl-Dannii-Louis needs to be the panel someone please confirm
I would take this just for a throwback to the golden era for the last few series
Simon-Sharon-Nicole-Louis Should be the panel tbh.
But of all the ex-judges, this would be the perfect panel <3

18-02-2016, 10:53 PM

It was my first year watching, but why fire just Caroline? Why not Olly too? He is the one who made the Monica mistake.
They both made mistakes, cause imo, it´s just not the right kind of hosting job for them.
It´s live, meaning there is no room for mistakes, which brings enormous amount of stress and anxiety which these two aren´t clearly good at handling, when dealing with a job where one of them does not know anything about hosting (Olly) and the other one is a host that is better suited for previously recorded shows (Caroline), not live television.

At least it'll be a little more bare able without Nick but Olly can't host a show like this on his own lmao

If Olly stays he stays backstage with the contestants when the live shows start. Get someone who has live show expierence to present the show with him.

Yeah if Sia was to do one if these Talent shows I think she should do the voice USA I think she's been a mentor on there before helping contestants. I wouldn't mind Sia coming on the show to mentor the acts for the week.

Thank god that Grimmy got the axe - he either bored me or irritated me when he was on screen :clap1:. A shame about Caroline though - out of the two presenters she was by far the better one. I can see Olly getting dropped too though - after all, he was the one who insisted that Caroline was there with him rather than going solo.
The way I see it - they going to try and bring on Emma Willis. Either that or another female presenter. I reckon that Louis Walsh will also be back (again, thank god) and Rita will also go. No way is Cheryl going anywhere though - they gave her a production role last year so she'll stay put. I'd say that it'll be Simon, Cheryl, Nicole (possibly?) and Louis on the panel. I also think that Simon's probably thinking about leaving again (what with him having BGT and AGT to focus on and The Voice coming to ITV).

We could make an alright panel from CBB housemates. Pete for the spice, Claire from step to be the nice caring judge, Rylan to be the Louis Walsh of the panel and Katie price to bring the headlines to the show and has a singing past :joker:

Cheryl would never be on the same panel as Nicole they hate each other. Yeah I think this will be both Simons and Cheryl final year on the show.

The next series I would go back to the old format of 6 weeks of Saturday only audition shows, Then have the Country house bootcamp but at the end of that the final 24 are decided then so that would be dropping SCC. Judges houses I would keep the same. Live shows needs to go back to 10 I want a good mix of new themes and old ones. A mentor each week for example we have pop divas theme they could try and get one of the pop divas to come mentor the acts.
