Simon, 59, revealed the overhaul will result in both a celebrity version, and an all-star edition with past contestants, but insisted no deal has been signed yet as his team and ITV figure out the details for new five-year contracts.
Opening up on the challenges, he joked:

“It runs for bloody months. No other show can run for months, it’s like putting on a soap opera every year, so that’s what we’ve got to work out, but I’ve got a plan.”
“Now we’ve just got to get the dates sorted. But don’t give too much away, I don’t want my competitors to know.”
The show’s boss also opened up on the potential panel for the new formats, and said he is hopeful last year’s judges – Louis Tomlinson, Robbie Williams and Ayda Field – will be back.
He said:
“I think and hope the panel will be the same. I’m literally speaking to Robbie tonight because he’s been busy, I’ve been filming, so I’ll have more news again on that soon.”
