Robbie Williams and Ayda Field announced the news they wouldn't be returning to the X Factor judging panel, and now the bets are on for who their replacements will be.
Little Mix star Perrie Edwards is currently the bookies favourite, with the singer beating Cheryl and Alesha Dixon as things stand with odds of 11-10.
Liam Payne's ex-girlfriend is at 2-1 to join the panel again, while the former Strictly Come Dancing judge is 11-10. Louis Walsh has odds of 5-4.
But it seems the former X Factor winner is raking in all the bets, as Coral's John Hill explained, “It will be all change on the judges’ seats on X Factor this year after Robbie and Ayda left the show and all the early money in our betting has been for Perrie Edwards to take up one of the spots on the panel.

“Louis Walsh and Cheryl Cole have been backed to make returns to the show, as Simon Cowell may look for familiar faces this year as he battles to boost the ratings.”
If Perrie does accept an offer, she'll be joining another former winner of the show on the panel as Louis Tomlinson is set to star in the show again this year.

The former Take That singerand his wife announced they were hanging up their judging hats on Instagram after just one season, with Robbie writing, "quick update from Team Williams… it’s been a very busy year so far. Vegas has been incredible and we cannot wait for June and July to do it all again.
"Sadly though it’s impossible to do everything … and 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…x".
