For the first time in seven years, Simon, 57, has decided to stick to his guns and will reportedly be joining Louis, Sharon Osbourne and Nicole Scherzinger again this year.

A source told The Sun: “The ­chemistry was perfect last year, so it’s only natural to want to bring the same line-up together again.

“It’s usually hard to get people’s schedules to align but for the first year it has worked out. The judges can’t wait to get started and have already been gossiping behind the scenes.”

It was previously reported that Mariah Carey might have been joining the judging panel due to Nicole’s other commitments, but then Nicole finally confirmed that she would take up the final seat.

Back in 2015, Simon decided to completely switch it up by hiring singer Rita Ora and radio DJ Nick Grimshaw to appear alongside him and Cheryl.

But Simon has since said that the recent X Factor was one of his most enjoyable.

And are we surprised? He gets to work with the stunning Nicole!

The gorgeous former Pussycat Doll did very well last year with her act Matt Terry as he won, and Sharon came in second place with Saara Aalto.

We’re sure Simon is gagging for a win this year.

We can’t wait for more madness!
