Stars expected to make an appearance on the live shows of The X Factor are Take That, Cheryl Cole, Rihanna, Elton John, Justin Bieber, Kylie Minogue and Lady Gaga.

An insider on the show told The Daily Star Sunday:

“Simon wants only the best and most current stars appearing on the show this year.

“As well as getting music legends like Elton John on board, he also wants to bring in Justin Bieber and Pixie Lott because he knows that’s who the younger viewers really want to see.

“Simon is still desperate to convince Madonna to appear on finals night but she has always refused.”

Simon Cowell has invited Pixie Lott, Nicole Scherzinger and Katy Perry to return to the X Factor later this year. The three singers all acted as guest judges during the audition rounds of the show and Cowell was so impressed with their offerings, that he asked them to perform on a live show and offer a master class to the finalists.

Fourth guest judge Natalie Imbruglia is currently judging on the Australian X Factor and assisted Dannii Minogue at her judges houses rounds last week. However Geri Halliwell, who joined the panel in Glasgow, has not been asked to return.

It's from the daily star, but they were pretty accurate with the line up last year. Most of these seem probable, we know that: Joe Mcelderry, Alexandra & JLS will be back this year.
