Things could get VERY dramatic.

The X Factor has undergone a bit of a revamp this year as there are both new judges and presenters on board.

Nick Grimshaw and Rita Ora replace Louis Walsh and Mel B but Simon Cowell has warned the new judges that they will have to work to ensure they remain part of the reality TV competition.

The Daily Star reports that Simon Cowell will ask Louis Walsh back if the new judging panel doesn’t succeed.

After the show was consistently beaten by Strictly Come Dancing in TV ratings last year, Simon is determined to get the X Factor back on top this year.

He also wants to it be “controversial” and has said it’s important for people to talk about the show.

“If they’re not talking about you then you’ve got a problem. I think it’s a good thing. I think we’re lucky.

“When you have the opportunity to make a couple of shows like ours then there’s more fun than problems” said the record label boss.
