The X Factor returns to our screens next Saturday and there’s some big names being linked to it already. The biggest and best is that Kylie Minogue is rumoured to be one of the special guests at the Judges’ Houses stage of this year’s show.

The singer, who did a stint on last year’s X Factor, will assist her sister Dannii again as they decide who goes through to the live finals.

There’s also been reports that suggest Rodney Jerkins will be judging the acts with Dannii also.

Simon Cowell on the other hand has got music mogul Clive Davis (us neither) on hand, as well as Destiny’s Child singer Kelly Rowland to help him pick his best three acts.

Cheryl Cole will be joined by Derek Hough and Louis Walsh will be joined by former Westlife crooner Brian McFadden and his singing missus, Delta Goodrem.

The X Factor returns next Saturday at 7.30pm on ITV1.
