X Factor bosses are giving the show a big shake up on the next season.
The talent show is taking a leaf Britain’s Got Talent and will now have a week of live episodes before the final.
According to the Sun producers are worried viewers could be getting “bored” with the current format.
“The X Factor executives feel it needs a shake-up with big changes to the format. They have been discussing having just a few weeks of live shows — so people get to know the singers — and then one big finals week.

“They think viewers would prefer one p week of great TV, with star performers. BGT is a huge success, so they could take inspiration from worse places,” a source told the publication.
“If the live shows were focused on one week it’d be easier for the judges,” the insider added.
Louis Walsh, Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Nicole Scherzinger made up the judging panel last season.
“Sharon had to commute from the States every week for months.
“Cutting down the live shows is just one of a series of scheduling options. But that would not affect the total number of hours of the series.”
