They will both complete the judging panel line-up joining show creator Simon Cowell and returning judge Cheryl Fernandez-Versini in the new series of The X Factor which will air this autumn on ITV.  &nbsp;  Rita is no stranger to The X Factor having first appeared on the show in 2012 as a guest judge.  Speaking about joining the show, Rita said: \"I am excited to be coming back to The X Factor \u2013 I had a ball here in 2012. This is a journey I can't wait to embark on to find some talented singers. It\u2019s the new generation taking over. Booooom\" Simon Cowell said: \"It\u2019s taken a while! But I am very happy to be able to confirm our line-up of judges for The X Factor this year. The combination of Nick, Cheryl and Rita is going to be a lot of fun! They all bring a lot of enthusiasm and passion for music to the show.\u201d \u201cI have a feeling I am in for a bit of a rough time but sometimes you have to embrace the craziness and now, with luck, we hope to find a star.\u201d The new panel is part of a number of changes to this year\u2019s series of The X Factor, which also include the brand new hosts RCA-signed Olly Murs and Caroline Flack.
