If there’s anyone who can kick The X Factor 2013 off in style - it’s big boss and original Judge, Simon Cowell. And what a start he gave it – by jumping on stage and telling the excited media present, “I’m very proud to be a part of the show. I feel like a very proud daddy.”
Judges Gary Barlow, Louis Walsh, Nicole Scherzinger and Sharon Osbourne all joined Simon for the afternoon at secret London location. And seeing as we were there too, we thought it was time to hang out with the judges – and find out what’s in store for us this weekend.
Discussing the new room auditions, Nicole told us:
“I love being in the smaller rooms because you don’t have to be judged by the audience. You can really hone in on a contestant and give them an honest critique.”
While returning Judge Sharon Osbourne, who looked thrilled to be back on her favourite show, said:
“I couldn’t be happier. It’s better than I expected - the judging panel is really, really good. We have two artists and two managers – it’s the perfect balance.
“And I love the drama. I love having the audition rooms. It’s intimate. And I adore Nicole. Look at her – she’s such a vision!”
So, how will Mr Barlow be celebrating a decade of The X Factor?
“There are fireworks,” he said. “There are smoked salmon sandwiches backstage.
“We are all aware it’s a big anniversary for the show - and we have really found the talent this year. I think people will watch because they have a favourite.”

However, this afternoon he surprised a room full of journalists and reporters when he took to the stage after they’d watched the first two episodes of the new run, which are due to air this weekend.
Simon left the UK version of the show in 2011 when he went to America to launch his new US series. Today he showed that he’s still very much hands on with the British programme and he told the press:
“This is ten years of X Factor, this is the first time I have seen the show edited now. It was absolutely incredible. Congratulations.”
It seems that Cowell is happy for once with the content, the lineup and feel of the new show and he added:
“Great panel, great talent.”
Speaking about the audition, the bootcamp and the judging shakeup Simon said:
“It’s so easy after ten years to get lazy and make the same show again but the enthusiasm, the changes, the judging panel’s fantastic…Dermot of course…It feels fresh and fantastic and I am very proud to be part of this show.”
Cowell joked abut his recent drama, adding:
“Once again I feel like a very proud daddy.”
The X Factor returns this Saturday and again on Sunday and having seen both episodes, we can tell you reality TV fans you are in for a MASSIVE treat.
Sharon Osbourne is back on form, there are plenty of tears and laughter but more importantly there is really life, genuine talent!
