Music mogul Simon Cowell has promised to shake things up at Britain's The X Factor when deciding on the new panel.

Speaking exclusively to Yahoo! OMG, the star explained that he's started to think about potential new judges and when asked if Girls Aloud beauty Cheryl Cole might make a return, he teased:

"No-one's decided yet. No-one's contracts have been picked up. There are a series of meetings taking place in a couple of week's time. All the Brits are coming in, all the Americans and we're gonna make some decisions then."

Judges on the last season of the show, which was won by singer James Arthur, were Tulisa Contostavlos, Gary Barlow, Nicole Scherzinger and Louis Walsh.

"We're going to mix it up," Cowell added coyly.
