Fans of The X Factor were stunned when show stalwart Louis Walsh announced his departure from the show after a whopping 13 years on the judging panel. However, when it was reported that Take That star Robbie Williams could be taking over his spot, fans of the singer became very excited.
But in an even more shocking move, it's now being reported that Robbie's wife, Ayda Field, could be joining him on the panel as a replacement for The Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger.
According to The Mirror, singer and actress Ayda could be set to join the panel alongside her husband in a reported joint £10 million deal.
A source told the publication, "She thinks doing the show with Robbie will be a lot of fun – particularly as she wants to beat her husband at his own game. She can’t wait to get started."

Ayda, who currently works on the Loose Women panel, has been married to Robbie since 2009 after being introduced by a friend in 2006, sharing five-year-old Theodora and three-year-old Charlton with the popstar.
If it goes ahead, the move would make Ayda and Robbie the first married couple to ever be on the judging panel together in the show's 14-year history.
But Robbie wouldn't be the first Take That star to sit on the panel, following in the footsteps of his bandmate Gary Barlow, who replaced Simon Cowell as head judge in 2011 to 2013.
Robbie, Ayda, Simon and his partner Lauren Silverman are all good friends, and Ayda recently conducted a hilarious interview with Simon for Loose Women about Britain's Got Talent, with Robbie stealing the show and pretending to be Ayda's butler.
