X Factor bosses have teased a new ‘fifth judge’ aspect to this year’s auditions.

In a teasing Twitter post, the show’s official social media accounts revealed an announcement will be made this coming Friday, ahead of Saturday night’s TV premiere of the new series.

This year’s line up of judges has seen Sharon Osbourne make a return to the panel, joining Louis Walsh, Gary Barlow and Nicole Scherzinger.

Every aspect of the show has been revamped, with a completely new double audition stage that’s seen the comeback of the judges’ rooms.

The categories were given straight after, putting a new spin on bootcamp which itself has gone under a radical transformation to add drama and plenty of tears.

As a new series of Strictly draws closer, we are excited to reveal we'll be adding an extra celebrity to the line-up this year. Yep, 15 celebrities will be making their dance floor debut in the autumn!

New ITV entertainment show Stepping Out has confirmed its judging panel.

Mel B, Jason Gardiner and Wayne Sleep will all appear live every Saturday night as The Front Row, judging six celebrities and their real-life partners on their ability to dance

The dancing couples will be given individual 'him and hers' scores, which from week two, will be combined with the viewer votes. The couple at the bottom of the leader board will hang up their dancing shoes and leave the competition.

ITV has also confirmed the following competitors lineup:

> Brian McFadden of Westlife fame and his wife Vogue Williams.
> Loose Women star Denise Welch and husband Lincoln Townley.

ITV and basically the same format as strictly and DOI.
We might struggle for markets.
Dance shows tend to be far less popular with punters

You beat me to it squares

Nigel Harman has been cast as a character based on Simon Cowell in the upcoming X Factor musical.

The former EastEnders star will channel the music mogul in the comedy theatre project from Harry Hill.

I Can't Sing! will be directed by Olivier Award-winner Sean Foley, and will premiere at the London Palladium on March 26, 2014 after previews.

Harman will play a character based on X Factor boss Cowell, while The Color Purple actress Cynthia Erivo and Holby City's Alan Morrissey will also appear.

The actor has recently appeared on the West End in shows including A Chorus of Disapproval and Shrek the Musical.

Simon Cowell will appear at the musical's press launch on Monday (September 2).

Actor Alexander Hanson was previously linked to the role of Simon Cowell in the production.

Speaking of Dave, anyone else watching `Long Lost Families`? I hated her on BB, and her very presence on `Million Pound Drop` stops me from ever watching it. However, she is quite good on LLF.

I watch sometimes. It's a very decent show of that type and I agree Davina comes across extremely well. I even like Nicky Campbell on it

can't stand stuff like LLF so no thank you.

I loved it

Yes, Campbell is good too. Today`s episode is about to finish in.... Brighton! Starting on ITV+1 in a few minutes for anyone with nothing better to do than enjoy an hour of `feelgood` tv.

I'm usually with you squares. I hated Surprise surprise. But that was in a big glitzy studio with bloody Cilla Black dragging some poor soul up on stage which made it feel very exploitative.
LLF is made by the same people who produce WDYTYA and has a similar feel to it.
Far more heart, care and thought goes into the whole the show.

Not the best episode, today. Brother and sister  are never as good as parent and child and, in the  mother and daughter story,the daughter was a bit `colder` than usual.

for 2014, from DH Headlines

Celebrities will take on winter sports in a new Channel 4 series.

The Alpine Games will air in early 2014 ahead of the broadcaster's coverage of the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games.

The series will be stripped across ten nights, with contestants taking part in events including slalom and ski jumping.

Expert coaches and Olympians will train the celebrities for their challenges, with the names of those competing yet to be confirmed.

"The format is simple and compelling; the scale is enormous." said Andrew Mackenzie of production company Twofour.

"I'm looking forward to seeing our first skier patiently waiting at the top of a large ski jump ramp."

Twofour previously produced celebrity diving series Splash! for ITV.

Big Brother's Brian Belo reaches settlement with TOWIE bosses after claims they stole the idea from him
11 Oct 2013 16:56

The reality star took legal action against ITV and Lime Pictures and has settled the case out of court, according to reports

Big Brother winner Brian Belo has reached a settlement with ITV and Lime Pictures, after taking legal action against the makers of TOWIE last March.

According to Broadcast, the case was due to be heard at the High Court today but a final attempt at negotiations saw all parties reach a settlement.

Belo, himself an Essex boy, claimed that the makers of the structured reality soap had adapted and reproduced part of a format he had originally developed with Sassy Films and Massive TV.

The trio said they took the idea to Lime Pictures in March and July 2009 and sent a tape and treatment to ITV in November 2009. The show launched on ITV2 in 2010.

They also highlighted a series of emails that they believe demonstrated ownership of the format.

A key part of ITV's defence was that the concept developed by Belo, Sassy and Massive - called Totally Essex - was not a “dramality” show like The Only Way is Essex, but a “fly on the wall documentary".

Watch the Totally Essex trailer below.

He probably settled for a 6pack of cider

TBF he's a smart guy
Smart enough to pull off the dumb act for 10 weeks and win BB
I'm sure he'd do well on here betting on it too

I watched the trailer for his idea a few months back.
I'm amazed itv had a nerve to say they never copied his idea, he even had half the cast in it.

He'll have got a large amount then. Not as much as without the theft but good for him anyway.

Hopefully enough so that he doesn't have to wear a mankini on BOTS ever again

It’s been revealed this weekend that former Big Brother winner Brian Belo – who’s one of my Top Five BB favourites of all time – is celebrating having banked a cheque to the value of £1million after a lawsuit against ITV and Lime Pictures ended with the settlement.

Good for him

Despite not having the greatest line-up this year, Strictly trouncing XF

Strictly Come Dancing: 9.8m
* peak: 10.9m
The X Factor: 8.1m (35%) inc +1
* average down -1m on last year's first live show (9.06m/40% inc +1)
* average down -400k from last week's Judges' Houses Saturday (8.48m/36.1% inc +1)
* peak: 9.5m (40%) inc +1

Figures during the clash


"@Jake_Kanter: The gap was more marked when the Strictly & X Factor overlapped at 8-8.30pm. Strictly got 9.8m (38%) and X Factor 7.2m (28%). #tellyratings"

XF not that far down on it's average figure so it shouldn't make a big difference to the vote of the 1st 3 acts.

@mermhart: If people who stole my laptop last night in W6 out there. Please please please return. Precious creative projects all lost. Will reward. RT.

Someone's stole Miranda's laptop .......Party Time (although bear will be distraught)

i wonder if that means we will be spared the Christmas Fitness DVD - or is that already completed

Poor Miranda

Is someone offering a reward for the thief to keep it?

We could have a whip round.
If Lorna goes tonight I'll stick in a tenner

Terrible figures for xf and the show was awful to boot. Half a chance of peaking less than 10 for this year's final I'd have thought. Whoever came up with the ridiculous idea of the fake backstage scenes omg.

The Voice did

Big gamble today on Apu to be the next character killed off on The Simpsons

No more of these gems ?

-Thank you, come again
-Yes! I am a citizen! Now which way to the welfare office? I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I work, I work.

-Yes, yes, I know the procedure for armed robbery. I do work in a convenience store, you know.

-Please do not offer my god a peanut

-Ah! the searing kiss of hot lead; how I missed you! I mean, I think I'm dying.

-I have been shot eight times this year, and as a result, I almost missed work.

-Be careful when we capture him! We cannot claim the reward unless we have 51% of the carcass

-Hey, hey, this is not a lending library. If you're not going to buy that thing put it down or I'll blow your heads off!

-Silly customer, you cannot hurt a Twinkie!

-Nickel off on expired baby food

-I will not lie to you.  In this job you will get shot

What Will The Ladbrokes Exchange Mean For Punters And The Industry?

Tim wins Big Brother OZ

nice article mach.

Betfair did get way too greedy, that much is obvious. I'm pretty sure big investor(s) in Betfair made the decision to cripple the markets through tax, grab the short term gains, sell the stock and then short the company...
Liquidity has been poor this year. Betfair need to lower commissions before it's too late.

I see the Lads exchange is up and running

They have an x factor market which they have obviously seeded themselves

If that's the case you can see them banning people who win too often

The winner of this year's X Factor will release their single during the week of what qualifies as the 2013 Christmas No.1.

The ITV show has avoided the festive chart battle for the last two years, but the Official Charts Company has announced that the single will release on Monday, December 16 - following the contest's final the day before - with the No.1 being revealed the following Sunday, December 22.



2011 winners Little Mix and 2012 winner James Arthur both reached the top spot, but their singles were released the week before Christmas.

Matt Cardle's Biffy Clyro cover in 2010 was the last X Factor winner's single released during Christmas No.1 week and it topped the charts.

In 2009, however, Joe McElderry was beaten to No.1 by an anti-Simon Cowell campaign's push for Rage Against The Machine's 1993 single 'Killing In The Name'.

Also in the running for this year's Christmas top spot are 11-year-old choirboy Jack Topping and Britain's Got Talent finalists Richard & Adam

CSS - AJ axed.  Carol McGiffin joins Rylan and Emma.

or even CBB

We're very excited to announce that Carol McGiffin will be joining the Celebrity Big Brother team as head panelist on Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Psych.

Carol came fourth in the last series of Celebrity Big Brother and is an experienced broadcaster and journalist. She was most widely known for her time as a regular panelist on Loose Women, which she quit before entering the CBB House last summer.   

Carol McGiffin comments: "When I was in the house I was a straight talker, and it will be the same on Bit On The Psych. I'm really looking forward to getting inside the housemates heads and seeing what mates them tick".

Bit On The Psych will air on Saturday nights after the main show and will be co-presented by Rylan Clark and Iain Lee. Iain Lee joined the Big Brother team last summer as a regular panelist on Bit On The Psych. An established radio and television broadcaster, Iain's previous credits include Inside Out London and The 11 O'Clock Show. 

Emma Willis and Rylan Clark will return for Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side which will air Monday to Friday after Celebrity Big Brother.

Celebrity Big Brother returns to Channel 5 in January.
