The X Factor will be return for a thirteenth series next year but there will be some changes.


Speaking at the press conference for this year's X Factor final, Simon revealed he was already turning his attention to 2016's show.

Taking on feedback from viewers, Simon said the team would be making improvements to the format again.

"I think we'll go back to the small rooms next year," he said about the auditions.

But Simon hinted that the six chair challenge would STAY despite Rita Ora branding it "inhumane" this week.

"It definitely wasn’t my favourite," she said. "I cannot believe they make you do that. It is beyond stressful. It nearly broke me."

Simon however commented: "I think what worked the best, the talent was great and people liked the six chair challenge."

Another thing that will NOT be changing is Simon Cowell's spot on the judging panel as he declared he planned to be back.

Also chatting to us at the event, Cheryl was not so outright with her intentions.

"I don't know what's going to happen next year," the now X Factor veteran judge admitted. "We don't ever have these conversations because trust me, this time [of year] you're so stressed, you can't even think about what you're going to do next year, you can only think about Christmas dinner and some time off."

Meanwhile, Simon briefly spoke about ITV's decision to takeover The Voice UK but insisted "it doesn't matter to me if it's on BBC or ITV," adding that the show would NOT replace The X Factor and will instead "stay where it is" in the schedules for 2017.

make up your minds

There's a next series?.... :/

[Jordan.]

Lol at 'improvements' and 'big changes' when that was supposed to be happening this series. Doing something they've already done and gone back to again is hardly gonna save the show.

Nick needs to go.

Don't really mind whether it's rooms or arenas, only thing about the arena I dislike is the little cutaways to portions of the audience having staged 'conversation'.

[Amy Jade]

Bring Dannii and Louis back and get rid of Nick and Rita and for the love of god make the live shows longer next year, losing 2 acts per show is crap.

[Lostie!]

Yeah but is it gonna be like when they brought the room auditions back but still had arena auditions afterwards?

[Mitchell]

Cos half the audience was empty?

That was a mess and pretty pointless.

Its a sinking ship the only way to get viewers back is stop the manipulation and blatant favouring and make it a fair fight for every contestant
