Nicole Scherzinger and Louis Walsh will reportedly be making a sensation return to the X Factor as judges.
The singer, 40, and entertainment manager, 66 were both sacked from the ITV show twice before, despite being a big hit with viewers.
However, according to The Sun, they are now in “advanced discussions” to comeback alongside Simon Cowell on the panel.
The publication also claims that the panel will remain a trio and will no bring back fellow judge Sharon Osborne.
It comes after Louis revealed earlier this week that he had been in talks with Simon about returning to the show.
Speaking to The Mirror, he explained: “I’m speaking to Simon. Let’s see.”
Louis starred as a judge on the hit show for 12 years from 2004 until 2017.
He took a break from the singing competition in 2015.

“I was just really hard on myself, I had a lot of struggles with self-esteem and a lot of insecurities and later on that resulted in me having eating disorders because of my body dysmorphia.”
The stunning singer had some encouraging words for her fans, telling them: “Just hold on, don’t give up. Don’t let anyone else, not even yourself, get in the way of who you are and who you were created to be.”
