Louis Walsh and Paula Abdul to feature in worldwide X Factor one-off

Louis Walsh and Paula Abdul are among the stars who will celebrate the X Factor's worldwide appeal with a special one-off show in Indonesia.

The TV show will transform into X Factor Around the World for one night only on August 24 as acts from various editions of the X Factor team up.

Walsh and Abdul will be joined by Daniel Bedingfield on the judging panel, whilst the UK's Jahmene Douglas will perform live.

Other names due to perform include X Factor USA's Melanie Amaro and Australia's Samantha Jade and The Collective.

The event will also celebrate the end of Indonesia's debut X Factor series, which ended in May, with local judges and talent also on the bill.

Speaking about the show, FremantleMedia Asia managing director Paul O'Hanlon told the Hollywood Reporter:

"This is the first time we have had an international [judging] panel for an Asian programme, which is a massive coup for us. X Factor Around the World in Indonesia has proven there is an appetite in the country for international artists who were showcased on local X Factors. Both FremantleMedia and Syco are excited about this special event for Indonesia. We are looking forward to seeing its performance and what opportunities may exist in the future."
