LONDON — The new line-up for The X Factor has been announced, and it doesn't look very new at all.

Grumpy stalwart Simon Cowell will be joined this year by Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and Nicole Scherzinger in the judges' chairs, with Dermot O'Leary back in the hosting role.

Caroline Flack and Olly Murs have been ditched.

Sharon Osbourne has long been a feature on the show, having appeared from 2004 to 2007 and again in 2013. Scherzinger appeared in 2012 and 2013.

Louis Walsh, on the other hand, just won't quit. He's held on tight to his position for a record 12 seasons. Last year's presenters - Nick Grimshaw, Cheryl Fernandez-Versisi and Rita Ora - have all left.

Producers and the BBC insist that the show will go on, but last year's final only pulled in 5.95 million viewers on average.

Some, such as loudmouth personality Piers Morgan, were pleased at the news.

So glad @MrsSOsbourne's back on X Factor.

No more mischievous judge in the world & she knows real talent when she sees it. — Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) June 1, 2016

Others, not so much.

With Sharon, Louis, and Nicole back it's a bit Ex Factor. #XFactor — Toby Earle (@TobyonTV) June 1, 2016

Never mind people who are vitally important to the music industry... let's bring back the nodding dog Louis Walsh.#xfactor 🚮🚮🚮 — Jason R (@GeordieJay) June 1, 2016

Some had better suggestions.

I want Tom Baker on the #XFactor judging panel. And that Brixton couple from GoggleBox. — Damien St John (@damienstjohn) June 1, 2016

Others, meanwhile, just wanted to see the show put to sleep.

I think it needs to be understood that it's not the judges that are putting people off #XFactor , it's just getting boring now #seenitbefore — Georgie Alesi (@GeorgieCorrick) June 1, 2016

Scherzinger's return does let us revisit this classic moment though.

Nicole Scherzinger being back on #xfactor is a good reason to relive this magic moment. pic.twitter.com/WOxdokw2Ne — How Upsetting (@How_Upsetting) June 1, 2016

The judge's auditions begin on June 10 in Leicester, and the show will be aired until the end of time (or Christmas, whichever seems later).
