I'd love this to be the panel with 5 judges - 3 acts each. Cut the Auditions and Judges houses down considerably to 6 weeks of 1 hour Saturday shows then go into live shows.

SIMON
NOEL GALLAGHER
ROBBIE WILLIAMS
MEL B
LILY ALLEN

Lily Allen would never do it. She hates X Factor and sure doesn't hold back letting everyone know how much.

I think Noel would not do it. He was asking in 2011 when they rebrand the Show after Simon was moving to the US. He said in lot of interviews that he is useless for the show and a lot of people take it to serious than it is. I really want to see James Blunt and Adele on the panel.

Simon
Demi/JessieJ
Tulisa
Cheryl

i'd love to see that sort of panel but i cant see any way ITV would allow them to be on a live prime time show , just too risky

Rita seems to be going back to The Voice and I doubt Nick will be around this year because apparently he was part of the reason Rita jumped ship. I don't think they'll throw money at people again and we will see judges who have already been on the show. I'd fully expect Louis to return and wouldn't be surprised to see Mel B either. I wouldn't mind seeing Sharon or Nicole back, or both.

If Tulisa gets away with whatever she's in court for this time, I fully expect this years panel to be Simon, Cheryl, Tulisa and Louis and that will be the panel until the show ends.

Sharron has said she would never go back

I think Nick is toast. Rita might be offered it but I'm not sure if she'll do it again. Cheryl will probably cling on but really should be let go at this point. Simon is a cert to return.

I think Louis Walsh may well find himself back this year. Not sure who will fill the other 2 seats though. Of the former judges whilst I think Sharon would be great I'm not sure she'd do it, I think she found it a bit much balancing it with The Talk in 2013. Nicole is a possibility as is Mel B (still working with Simon on AGT). I guess Alesha Dixon is an outside bet although I doubt they'd want her on both XF and BGT and you wouldn't want to change the BGT panel. Any of those would be better than Cheryl. Although having Nicole and Cheryl with Louis and Simon could be good for drama. You'd have Louis/Nicole vs Cheryl/Simon. Dannii's busy in the Australian version and I don't think they need to stoop as low as inviting Gary, Tulisa or Kelly back.

In terms of new people I've no idea who they could even ask. Louis Tomlinson would be dire. No way would Adele do it. Olly might have been a decent choice but with his hosting role I think that ship might have sailed. So I think we might have a panel of familiar faces this year, just not the ones we got last year!

Sinitta is ever hopeful

Liam Payne is another new name for the panel. I think that would be a good opportunity if that mean that we don't get Louis T..
But hopefully not with Cheryl on the panel. I think that would't help the show.

Is that Sinitta Aged 18?

Don't know about 18, but her twitter name is Sinitta 19 for some reason

So by the look of it we could have
Liam-Cheryl-Rita-Simon
Host-Dermot

I would quite like that

Yawn.

Without Cheryl and a great replacement that would be an interesting panel for me. Cheryl and Liam with their actual relationship would be a little bit strange. They will defenetly create drama around those two which I wouldn't like to see. And that would be to much drama and the show has enough of it. They should it bring back more to basics.

Simon
Rita
Demi
Louis T/Louis W

Right so far the people that have either been rumoured or have said they would like to do the show are the following

Louis W
Louis T
Craig David
Liam Payne
Danni M
Adele(Which will never happen)

And then we have the people linked with the hosting gig

Dermot O'leary
Vicky Pattison
Rylan Clarke
Emma Willis
Ben Shepherd
Ferne Cotton


Myself i would go with the following out of the ones listed
Panel- Craig-Danni-Cheryl-Simon
Hosts- Emma and Dermot

Louis Walsh, Sharon Osbourne, Simon Cowell and Nicole Scherzinger could be good.

Would love to see Sharon come back more than anyone, but she probably is the least likely to do it.

I know I'm in the minority, but I really didn't like Dermot O'Leary, so really hope he doesn't return.

Replacing him was one of the few changes I really liked about the last series!

Hope Cheryl don't come back but got a feeling she will. Only thing she has going for her.
Think she'll return with Cowell, Louie walsh and her fake fella Liam Payne.
If not Liam it may be Luis Tomlinson.

This line up is going to be dire to say the least.

The need to get someone with some musical talent for a change. The show is eating itself.

They'll probably ask an auto-tune machine to be guest judge.

Michael Buble could be a good choice as an old friend of the XF family.

Hopefully the judges this year will Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernadez-Versini, Nicole Scherzinger and Peter Andre
