JUST IN: Idols' judging panel WILL change!

Ooh.

Another season of Idols SA is about to start filming on Saturday, but y'all better be prepared for some changes.

Gareth Cliff hinted at the changes on his Twitter account, giving us the heads up that something is going on.

"Rumour has it there might be changes on the @idolsSA Judges' panel this year? @unathimsengana" Later adding, "Interesting meeting with the producers of @IdolsSA this morning. I'll talk about it on @CliffCentralCom tomorrow at 6am..."

M-Net's Lani Lombard has confirmed that there will be changes, but wouldn't be drawn on what. "There are changes to the judges panel. Whether there is a replacement or an addition, you'll have to wait and see."

The first auditions take place this Saturday, so we reckon as soon as the hopefuls get their chance, we'll know what's going on.

Can't wait!
