The X Factor will contine!

The news comes after rumours that last year's series might have been the last.

Despite the news that ITV would take over The Voice from 2017, The X Factor will also still be broadcast.

This has come as a surprise to some after only 5.9 million viewers watched last year’s series. At it’s height, in 2010, the show had nearly 18 million viewers.

In December 2015, Louisa Johnson won the show but her single Forever Young, a Bob Dylan cover, only reached number nine in the Official Singles Chart at Christmas.

That was the lowest entry for any winner in the show's 12 years history.

However, an ITV spokesman said:“We fully intend to continue the show into 2017 and beyond.”

It is not yet known whether the current judges, Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Rita Ora and Nick Grimshaw will return for next year’s series.

Do you want the X Factor to carry on or do you want it to end?
