Meanwhile, despite this year's series receiving some of the lowest viewing figures in its history, Simon Cowell recently revealed ITV have offered the show a brand new contract for two years, thanks to their increasing 16-34 aged audience, which will take them through to 2020.
He said, "We could probably do three years or five years, it makes a lot of money. "We got to a point years ago where we were able to compete with Strictly because there was that huge audience. We’re losing people now but fortunately the young audience has actually grown this year and all the advertisers and the sponsors want that income on a Saturday."
