Simon Cowell signs up Take That for X Factor

Simon Cowell Simon Cowell has reportedly signed up Take That to perform on the talent show later this year.
The 50-year-old music boss has beaten off competition from rival show Strictly Come Dancing to land the boy band for a performance soon after Robbie Williams rejoined them.
Williams, 36, mentored the contestants on last year's show and performed on his own - but he will reportedly perform with the rest of the band in this year's series.
A source on the show told UK newspaper the Daily Star: "X Factor has landed the ultimate trophy by getting Take That. We know the BBC wanted them for Strictly. But we've beaten them to it.
"If the boys had gone for Strictly, they'd have been singing while a bunch of dancers pranced around them on the show. At least with X Factor they can use their musical expertise to help the acts."
