Dropping Like Flies: Another Judge Threatens To Quit The X Factor

Gary Barlow could be the latest famous face to be leaving the X Factor UK. The judge said he will quit unless changes are made to the show.

The Take That singer has said that he wants something “special” to happen during the next series to make the show stand out in the ratings. He also said he had concerns over some of “the issues” that affected the show in the last series, Gigwise.com reports.

The site quotes The Sunday People as saying: “Gary has made it clear that he will not be on the show unless the problems from last year are corrected and something fabulous is offered for the viewers. He knows the risks, The X Factor could easily struggle against the competition if things aren't done right this time around."

They continued, "He knows what he wants to see so he will fly back from Los Angeles at the end of the week for a presentation."

Barlow threatened to quit the show unless big changes are made. 

Barlow also said he wants to see the talent show be taken more seriously.

"He wants to know that they're going to stop poking fun at the show, he wants serious singers and to know who will be on the judging panel," the source said.

"It's crunch time at the end of the week and you just can't call what it he is going to do. If he doesn't sign the deal it could leave Simon and his team with a huge problem."

As of now, no judges have been confirmed for the next series of the show. We do know Olly Murs is leaving the Xtra Factor to Caroline Flack and a co-host, yet to be announced, but rumoured to be Rylan Clark.

Sharon Osbourne and Cheryl Cole have been rumoured to return to the judging panel.
