However, unsurprisingly, Perrie isn't the only name in the pipeline to replace Robbie and Ayda. As well as being tipped to replace Darcey Bussell on Strictly Come Dancing, the annual rumour of Cheryl making a return is being thrown around, as well as Alesha Dixon, Craig David and Louis Walsh.
Taking to Instagram, the pair wrote, 'A quick update from Team Williams… it’s been a very busy year so far and Vegas has been incredible - we cannot wait for June and July to do it all again. We’ve got some very big announcements coming soon - but we can’t reveal all yet. Sadly as it’s impossible to do everything, we’re gutted to tell you we won’t be able to return to The X Factor this year. We will, however, be working on projects with Simon going forward - and as huge fans of the show, we will still be tuning into The X Factor, voting and winding Simon up! AWxx.' sic
Despite all the speculation, it's not yet been confirmed who will replace Robbie and Ayda, or if judges Louis Tomlinson and Simon Cowell will be returning.
The X Factor is due to return to ITV later in the year.
