Simon Cowell signs three-year X Factor and Britain's Got Talent deal 



Simon Cowell signs a Three year Deal with ITV for his shows X factor and Britain's Got Talent to be shown on Saturday night.
  • The deal is worth £150 million. 
  • The deal will last until the end of the 2016 series of both shows. 
  • The deal between ITV and Simon Cowells Syco Entertainment was announced on Friday. 
  • This deal has come at a right time for ITV after their disappoint of losing the UEFA Champions League football. 
Simon Cowell has also revealed that he will be a judge on least one of the shows as a judge. However it is also seen that he may come back to judge on the X Factor UK due to the ratings of the show falling since he’s move to take the X Factor to the US. Therefore he is seen to now dropping the US for his original UK show. 
However the US show is also seen to suffering in views therefore creating rumours of the show getting the boot. The X Factor US had received only 3.6 million last week. This could then see Simon Cowell coming back to the UK which would then benefit ITV. 
Quote from Simon Cowell on this deal.. 
  • Cowell said: "I am thrilled that we have extended our deal with ITV for Britain's Got Talent and The X Factor. They have been fantastic partners and we have some exciting new plans to take the shows to the next level."
