Simon Cowell is returning to The X Factor in a bid to turn round last year’s ratings flop – but he won’t be coming back for good.

The Saturday night ITV show had average audiences of 8.9million last series, down two million from 2011 when Cowell left to launch the US version.

He said: “I won’t be back full time but I will have an appearance. A little bit – probably by satellite.”

Cowell, 55, announced his big shake-up as rival talent show The Voice returned to TV screens last night.

He said: “We’ll come back bigger and better and stronger to try to beat them. There are going to be changes that will give everybody what they want.”

Sharon Osbourne, 60, is expected to come back to replace Tulisa Contostavlos, 24, on the judging panel, sitting alongside Gary Barlow, 42, Nicole Scherzinger, 34, and Louis Walsh, 60.

.....So is X Factor UK saved?

Sharon coming back will save the show tbh, I just wish Simon would drop the flop American version and boot Gary Barlow out.

Gary is still here, I think.

It's season 10 so I guess a lot of new things and twists are about to be made this year.

Sharon back

I need some Cheryl & Dani too on couple episodes.

I want Gary out. He's such an uncharismatic judge. He won't be happy until it's American Idol 2.0 and everyone is a WGWG.

8.9 million viewers isn't anything to scoff at though

But Simon, Sharon, Gary, and Louis

Lucky Nicole is loved and slightly younger. I think someone like Jessie J should have been on X Factor instead of the voice because the judges are getting so old that the young viewers might feel a bit...meh

The panel should be

Simon, Sharon, Nicole and Robbie.

Did anyone actually read the article? He's just going to have a guest appearance via satellite, not rejoin the panel.

I don't mind Gary at all, Louis should be replaced, he is like furniture

We have reason to dislike him when he was the one that put through Frankie Cocozza in Series 8 and put Christopher Maloney up for the wildcard vote in Series 9.

wuttt. You say they need a younger judge but then say the panel should have Robbie Williams who's nearly 40?

I wanted Cheryl Simon Nicole and Louis
Sharon is only good with Dannii so they can fight
