Thought it'd be fun to make a poll to see who you guys think will the judges?

Obviously, Simon Cowell is the only judge CONFIRMED at present. But there's strong rumors that indicate that Louis Walsh will also return.

Just tick the box of the celebrities you THINK will become the latest judge(s).

Am I the only one who likes rita

I like her. I cant see her returning this year though.

Looks like it will be nicole Sharon and louis i don't want nicole to come back though

Louis W Nichole and Sharron

I really hope this is true. Apart from having SO back, although anything would be better than Cheryl Cole returning, or Rita Ora, and worse still, Tulisa!!

Does anyone remember when the panel are normally anounced

I'd expect a full announcement mid-June based off previous years:

2015
June 16 - Cheryl, Rita and Nick were confirmed
2014
March 10 - Cheryl confirmed
May 30 - Louis confirmed
June 11 - Mel B confirmed
2013
May 22 - Sharon confirmed with Gary, Nicole and Louis
2012
April 17 - Gary confirmed
May 3 - Louis confirmed
June 15 - Nicole confirmed
2011
May 30 - Louis, Gary, Tulisa and Kelly confirmed

They seem to be struggling to fill the second female role... I wonder if they've considered going back to three judges? If Louis, Sharon and Simon have already agreed I don't see a problem with going back to that original judging panel for the early stages, and shaking up (or even getting rid of) the categories. That could leave a space for a fourth guest judge, who could change week on week and would be completely impartial, in the live shows.
