X Factor bosses announced MORE changes are coming this year

This year X Factor has gone through more changes than we can keep up with; between judges swaps and contestants walking out there has been a lot of news surrounding the singing competition.

However, the latest report from the series is probably one of the biggest changes to date for contestants and audiences. We’re not entirely thrilled with the news either, but with the way things are going it could all change tomorrow.

Despite talks attempting to set up the judge’s houses segments as this year’s big twist, it seems that instead the judge’s houses portion won’t be broadcast at all.

According to certain reports, Simon Cowell and his team decided that attempting to show the judge’s houses live would have been too difficult logistically.

The big twist will come in the form of the contestants being told their fate weeks after they spent some time lounging in swanky south of France mansions.

The results of their judges’ houses performances will be revealed live at Wembley in October.

Talking about the changes a source has apparently told the Sun that this is an embarrassing moment for the series.

“The team have had to admit they just won’t be able to pull it off. Realistically there were too many things that could have gone wrong and if it all went to pot on live TV it would have been disastrous.”

While it is a shame we won’t be getting to see any real live performances any time soon there is at least going to be one tension-building moment for audiences to look forward to.
