Simon Cowell To Make US X Factor Announcement Soon

It is thought more information about the talent show is coming in 2 weeks...

Simon Cowell has revealed that he is to make an announcement regarding the US version of The X Factor in "two weeks time."

The SyCo boss, who won the Best Talent Show gong for The X Factor at last night's NTAs, also revealed that despite speculation over who will feature on the American judging panel, no contracts have been signed on either the UK or US versions of the programme.

Speaking to PA backstage at the National Television Awards, SiCo revealed: "We are going to make an announcement soon."

He continued: "We have to make sure all the shows will be back bigger, better, stronger, different. No-one has been contracted yet, apart from me."

Cowell was also keen to insist that his involvement in the American XF will not damage the British version of the talent show, adding: "I've got some ideas and I'm trying to make a show I'd like to watch. It has got to be different, full stop."

While rumoured US X Factor judge Cheryl Cole refused to comment on whether she will be included as panellist Stateside, the music mogul did address the future of Chezza's fellow UK judges Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh, stating: "They haven't been given a contract yet."

"We are in the process of going through all the shows. I think there are going to be a few surprises. I genuinely do. I don't think there's one set way of doing it... I am in conversations with ITV and Fox."
