Sources told The Sun that the figures 'signal the beginning of the end' for the Simon Cowell -fronted show, which has a one-year contract.

The channel announced that they will continue to show the Ant and Dec-fronted talent show for at least five more series, but only have only commissioned The X Factor to return in 2020.

The singer, 34, will join the panel for the first round of arena auditions in Birmingham, which will also see Nicole moved to tears by a female hopeful.

The second episode of The X Factor: The Band failed to draw in more viewers than a documentary about German supermarket Aldi on Wednesday night.

The X Factor, which first aired in 2004, has been nominated in the category every year since 2007. However rivals Strictly Come Dancing and The Voice UK did get a mention in the shortlist.

According to The Sun , Tim Patch, 70, from Australia arrived to audition before the judges in a pink thong, chaps and cowboy hat and painted Simon and David Walliams with his manhood.

The X Factor is contracted for one more series, but head boss Simon feels it's the 'right time' to put the show on a one-year break, so future series can benefit. 

The 60-year-old judge vowed to get a tattoo of the word 'kindness' on Monday's episode of America's Got Talent: The Champions if his favorite act Boogie Storm wins.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with MailOnline, the singer, 22, was crowned the winner of the show in 2015, and described the months appearing on the show as 'a whirlwind.'
