Rita Ora and BBC radio host Nick Grimshaw will join The X Factor U.K. on ITV as judges. They will replace existing series judges Mel B and Louis Walsh in an attempt to give the tried and tested TV Format a much needed facelift by introducing two younger judges who are popular , contemporary , British and already have a huge fan base which in theory will spike an increase in ratings when the 12th series of X Factor goes live Ora and Grimshaw will join Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole as Judges leaving series eleven familiar older faces Mel B and Louis Walsh redundant.
Simon said:
“The combination of Nick, Cheryl and Rita is going to be a lot of fun! They all bring a lot of enthusiasm and passion for music to the show.”
The X Factor returns to ITV in the Autumn.
