Details have leaked about the judges' categories for The X Factor, with Simon Cowell looking after the over-25s and Cheryl Cole mentoring the 16-24 boys.
That leaves Louis Walsh with the groups and Dannii MInogue with the 16-24-year-old girls.
The Daily Mirror reports that the series will be the most expensive yet, with the budget increased by £6 million.
As well, Cowell will take the over-25 finalists to Los Angeles, Louis Walsh will take the groups to Tuscany, Cheryl will be in Marrakech with the boys and Dannii will go to Dubai with the girls.
An X Factor source said: "Everywhere else in TV there are cutbacks, but The X Factor is going to be bigger and better.”
The X Factor premieres on ITV1 on August 22.
