Now that Simon Cowell has revamped the auditions and boot camp process for the X Factor with a live audience, Simon has become very keen on live shows .

“Thousands of people got to see the contestants through the audition stages and we think it may look a bit weird going from these huge theatres to Fountain Studios, which can’t hold that many people.

If we were to move to a bigger place like the Excel Centre in east London we could have loads of fans in to watch the live shows and make it more like a concert every Saturday night.” a spokesman for the X Factor was quoted as saying.
