The X Factor to return for a 'one off charity special' for Red Nose Day after five years off air
The X Factor was a Saturday night staple from 2004-2018 before its axe, but some of the show's most iconic contestants will reunite for a charity special.
A source told The Sun: “The X Factor has been off air for five years so what better time to bring back some of their most controversial acts. Comic Relief has created a band out of some of the singers and have put X Factor host Dermot front and centre. They added: “Honey G the rapper from 2016 has filmed her part with Dermot, while Stevi Ritchie from 2014 has been approached — along with 2005 star Chico.
Brazilian star Wagner shot to fame on the 2010 series of the show, but was unable to fly back to the UK at the time of filming. This news comes after reports X Factor could return next year after TV bosses struck a deal with Channel 5 for a new series.
