X Factor to return?

[Keith]

Nobody is denying the last few years of X Factor weren't problematic but when you look back in hindsight it was much stronger for longer than you think - it only really absolutely collapsed in the last couple of years and that was arguably down to on screen changes rather than the overall concept.

I'd also suggest allegations such as the below article from two years ago could resurface if X Factor does return...

...there's also this from another former X-Factor contestant, which though seems to be more around the music industry in general doesn't really help X-Factor's image...
