X Factor UK's Judging Panel Shake Up!

ITV has reveleaed it's X Factor UK shake up - Sharon Osbourne has returned to X Factor UK following the departure of pop singer Tulisa!

Osbourne previously judged the show for it's first four series, from 2004 - 2007, before being replaced by (our personal favourite) Cheryl Cole.

Also returning this year are judges Nicole Scherzinger, Gary Barlow, and someone called Louis Walsh.

The 2013 series will also feature a new process called Double Auditions. This will see the contestants performing against the judges in an audition room, similiar to shows such as American Idol, before performing in front of a live audience.

While we're excited to see the dynamic between Scherzinger and Osbourne, we're also a little bored with the whole singing show format by now. The introduction of Double Auditions seems like just another gimmick to try and salvage ITV's last remaining viewers.

What do you think of the new season? Should X Factor UK give up, or are they onto a good thing? Let us know at the forums!
