Gary Barlow has reportedly threatened to quit The X Factor unless bosses improve this year\u2019s series.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
The Take That star apparently wants Simon Cowell and his team to pull out all the stops to mark the show\u2019s tenth anniversary – including scrapping novelty acts.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Barlow will attend a presentation at the end of the week with ITV and production companies Syco and Talkback before committing to a third year on the panel, The People reports.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\u201cGary has made it clear that he will not be on the show unless the problems from last year are corrected and something fabulous is offered for the viewers,\u201d a source said.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\u201cHe knows the risks. The X Factor could easily struggle against the competition if things aren\u2019t done right this time around\u201d.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\u201cHe knows what he wants to see so he will fly back from Los Angeles at the end of the week for a presentation\u201d.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\u201cHe wants to know that they\u2019re going to stop poking fun at the show, he wants serious singers and to know who will be on the judging panel\u201d.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s crunch time at the end of the week and you just can\u2019t call what it he is going to do. If he doesn\u2019t sign the deal it could leave Simon and his team with a huge problem.\u201d<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Barlow famously stormed off set during the first live results show last year, when his act Carolynne Poole was axed after landing in the bottom two with Rylan Clark. Louis Walsh is expected to return to The X Factor, as is Nicole Scherzinger if bosses double her salary to \u00a31.5 million.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
Sharon Osbourne is widely reported to have replaced Tulisa Contostavlos, while Cowell is planning to appear on the live shows via video link to make the tenth anniversary of The X Factor \u201creally special\u201d.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
