Gary Barlow could be about to quit his role as a judge on The X Factor unless changes are made to the show.
The Take That star apparently wants something 'special' to happen during the next series, and has spoken about his concerns over some of the issues that affected the show last series.
A source told The Sunday People, "Gary has made it clear that he will not be on the show unless the problems from last year are corrected and something fabulous is offered for the viewers. He knows the risks, The X Factor could easily struggle against the competition if things aren't done right this time around."
They continued, "He knows what he wants to see so he will fly back from Los Angeles at the end of the week for a presentation."
Barlow also apparently is annoyed with the use of bad singers on the show specifically for comic relief, and wants The X Factor to take the competition more seriously.
Could Gary Barlow be leaving The X Factor - and focusing on his Take That career?
"He wants to know that they're going to stop poking fun at the show, he wants serious singers and to know who will be on the judging panel," the source added.
"It's crunch time at the end of the week and you just can't call what it he is going to do. If he doesn't sign the deal it could leave Simon and his team with a huge problem."
So far, no judges have been confirmed for the new series of the show, although there are strong rumours that Sharon Osbourne and Cheryl Cole could be returning to the show.
