ITV CEO Adam Crozier has ruled out making any big changes to The X Factor next year, saying that this year’s show has been more than good! The telly chef said that the new judges had done a “fantastic job”, despite a decline ratings of almost four million viewers.
Speaking at a Broadcasting Press Guild lunch, he explained: “I think the new judges have done a fantastic job and are important to the future of the show.”
He added that there’d be categorically no major overhaul for the series next year, with auditions already open.
It’s also been revealed that ITV have the rights to The X Factor and Britain’s Got Talent until 2013.
“BGT and X Factor are two of the best known and best loved shows but we had only ever had them on annual deals. It was important to put them on a longer-term footing,” Crozier explained.
“Although X Factor is down year on year it compares favourably to every other year. You’ve got to put it in perspective, X Factor across Saturday and Sunday night is the biggest show in the UK.”
