There could be a major X Factor twist on the way

Simon Cowell is really planning major changes for the X Factor. After apparently axing Louis Walsh and Mel B, and making Caroline Flack and Olly Murs the new hosts, we have no doubt that the show will be a breath of fresh air this time around. 

Another dramatic change has now been revealed, Simon is considering making the judges houses live. 

This means the contestants and viewers will be informed of decisions at the same time.

Well now we're very glad we didn't audition for the next season…

A source has told The Sun: "This is a hugely ambitious plan and in many ways we are giving ourselves a massive headache, but if it comes off, it will be gripping TV. The emotion of the judges' houses stage is always one of the best things about the series, so if we can capture that live, it's going to be amazing."

We bet this will be much more thrilling, but nerve wracking if you're a contestant. 

We don't yet know how it will work, being all over the world and in different time zones because the judges bring their acts to many different places.

However, we're sure Simon will work something out.
