The X Factor renewed until 2022

Cape Town - The X Factor will be on screens for at least another three years, according to show boss Simon Cowell, who says ITV has renewed the show.

In an interview with The Sun Cowell confirmed that they were offered an extension because of the 16-34 year-old-audience.

"We could probably do three years or five years. It makes a lot of money," said Cowell.
