ITV is reportedly in talks with production company Fremantle to revive iconic music competition The X Factor after seven years off screen. ITV and Fremantle declined to comment.

A source told The Sun newspaper: \"They can explore a younger, fresher panel, with new faces and have Cowell behind the scenes. The plan is for the show’s return to take on a new life and be updated to envelop social media generation... The X Factor was one of the most iconic shows in TV history and created dozens of stars and household names who are still riding high today. Executives at Talkback Thames have had discussions with ITV chiefs about a comeback and they are super-keen for it.\"
Meanwhile, earlier this year Sky announced it has commissioned a new documentary exploring the highs - and lows - of ITV entertainment juggernaut The X Factor.
