Robbie Williams has been well backed to be one of the new judges on X Factor in 2018.<\/p>\n
The show is getting a major revamp from chief and head judge Simon Cowell, with Louis Walsh’s departure already confirmed.<\/p>\n
Sharon Osbourne is set to be involved but in a reduced role, which could mean up to three new judges are brought in.<\/p>\n
Both Rita Ora and Cheryl Cole are odds-on to return, but Robbie Williams and Louis Tomlinson are being well backed.<\/p>\n
“There is a shake-up coming in X Factor, we only know Simon is going to be a regular judge throughout the new series,” said OddsMonkey spokesman Peter Watton.<\/p>\n
“Odds all summer have suggested that we would be seeing Rita Ora and Cheryl Cole back on the panel, and both are odds on – but we are also expecting another male judge to come in, and the odds on Robbie have been slashed.<\/p>\n
“Robbie has a history with the show having been a guest judge more than once, and it seems he could be on his to the show, and he would be a hugely popular choice with the public.”<\/p>\n
Selected odds on X Factor judges:<\/strong><\/p>\n To be a judge on next year\u2019s X Factor: 1\/100 Sharon Osbourne; 1\/100 Simon Cowell; 1\/4 Cheryl Cole; 2\/5 Rita Ora; 6\/4 Robbie Williams; 5\/2 Louis Tomlinson; 4\/1 Alesha Dixon; 4\/1 Mel B; 6\/1 Paloma Faith; 8\/1 Dannii Minogue; 10\/1 Perrie Edwards; 10\/1 Rihanna; 12\/1 Leona Lewis; 12\/1 Olly Murs; 12\/1 Pixie Lott; 16\/1 Emeli Sande; 20\/1 Craig David; 20\/1 Liam Payne; 20\/1 Zayn Malik; 25\/1 Adele<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Robbie Williams has been well backed to be one of the new judges on X Factor in 2018.
