Cheryl Fernandez Versini has reportedly been promoted to an ‘executive producer’ role to help revamp the show.

Talking to the* Daily Star Sunday*, the X Factor judge said: “This year Simon wanted me more involved in the decision making. He wanted to know my ideas, what I thought, who I thought would be good.

“I get excited and blurt things out and then he’ll say ‘that’s actually a really good idea. OK so tell us more. What do you think? What would you change?’ And I’d just say, eve n if it’s stuff he thinks is absolutely ridiculous.”

The 32-year-old added: “We have creative moments together. We work really well off camera, just him and me in a meeting. So I’ve a few ideas for him this year.”

Simon said: “It’s true. I naturally consult Cheryl more because she’s been working with me for a long time. She does have great instincts, I’ve got to hand it to her.

She’s passionate about the show and isn’t just in it for the cash. She’s very involved and she’s definetly happier than a year ago, much happier.”

We cannot wait for The X Factor to start.
