Sinitta has teased the latest series of The X Factor, saying she was left "reeling" over some big changes to the ITV talent show.

The singer, who has a long history with the series and has featured many times (in various states of undress), did not specify exactly what changes would come, but couldn't contain her excitement all the same.

"We have not even had @BGT live shows yet and already my head is reeeling at the changes coming up on @TheXFactor 2017!! Is it your time?!!" she tweeted.

Oh come on Sinitta, don't go being a big tease!

One thing we do know about The X Factor this year is who will be on the judging panel, and it seems the show is sticking to the familiar.

Simon Cowell will return alongside regulars Louis Walsh, Nicole Scherzinger and Sharon Osbourne.

What to Read Next

"I don't think for the moment we'd want to make any changes," Simon said recently. "It worked on X Factor last year and the Britain's Got Talent panel works really well."

On possible changes to the format, he added: "There's always room to come up with new ideas for shows but you've got to look at the whole landscape.

"It's a crowded market but there's always room for something new if it's a good idea."

The X Factor will return later this year, with undoubtedly a cameo or two from Sinitta too – it wouldn't be the same without her.
