Music Mogul Simon Cowell is reportedly plotting a brand new spin off for the singing competition show "The X Factor".
If reports to be believed, the 57-year-old TV personality and other producers of the singing reality show are working on the spin off, reported AceShowbiz.
"It has always been the bad auditions that get everyone talking on 'X Factor' each year. And another thing people love to watch on TV is people undergoing huge transformations - like on Davina McCall's show 'This Time Next Year'.
"Now ITV will combine these two things as they launch a new show which sees awful singers transform into superstar performers - or that's what they're hoping. It's sure to be a great laugh but also heart-warming to see some amazing transformations," a source said.
"The X Factor" is set to return this fall with judges Simon, Nicole Scherzinger, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh.
