More X Factor Changes! Dermot Spills The Beans as Another Judge Bites the Dust

X Factor presenter Dermot O’Leary has revealed that judge and Take That singer Gary Barlow will leave the reality TV show at the end of the upcoming season. 

O’Leary spoke to reporters at the premiere of One Direction movie This Is Us in London last night, and said that Gary would not be there when original judge and series mastermind Simon Cowell returns as planned next year.

Careful with his wording, Dermot said; "Simon is a great judge so we'd welcome him back, but Gary's been such a great head judge as well."

Barlow, 40, will appear in the upcoming series with Nicole Scherzinger, returning judge Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh, who has already confirmed he will step down at the end of this season, after a decade on the panel.
