The X Factor set for major changes?

'The X Factor' will reportedly change dramatically next year, according to Simon Cowell.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Cowell said: "The minute you start assuming that the audience is very happy to see the same show again, you're dead."

According to the report, there are plans to host the final of next year's 'X Factor' at Wembley Arena.
