One Direction's Louis Tomlinson is to join the X Factor judging panel when the show returns to TV this summer, ITV has announced.

Louis will take up his position after finding fame on the show in 2010.

Former Take That singer Robbie Williams will join the show too along with his wife Ayda Field, and long-term judge Simon Cowell.

Sharon Osbourne will also be a judge - but only on the live shows that follow the pre-filmed auditions.

The new judging panel was unveiled in central London on Tuesday ahead of the auditions, which are set to begin later this week.
