''The X Factor'' is a British television music competition to find new singing talent. The twelfth series began airing on ITV on 29 August 2015. Dermot O'Leary, who had presented the main show on ITV for eight series, announced his departure in March 2015 and was replaced by Caroline Flack and Olly Murs, who had both previously co-presented spin-off show ''The Xtra Factor'' on ITV2. Sarah-Jane Crawford, who replaced Flack and Matt Richardson as ''The Xtra Factor'' presenter in series 10, also left and was replaced by Rochelle Humes and Melvin Odoom. Louis Walsh, the only judge who had been on the show from its inception in 2004, quit and was replaced by BBC Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw. Mel B was also replaced by series 9 guest judge and former ''The Voice UK'' coach, Rita Ora.〔 Simon Cowell and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini both return for their ninth and fifth series as judges, respectively.〔 ==Judges, presenters and other personnel== In March 2015, Simon Cowell was confirmed to return as a judge for the twelfth series, his ninth on the show. In April 2015, Louis Walsh cited his desire to quit the show and return to management, and that it would take serious thought for him to return for series 12. He also revealed that he was in the dark about whom Cowell had the intentions of bringing onto the panel. On 14 May 2015, Walsh confirmed his exit from the show after 11 series on the judging panel, stating, "The truth is I've done it for 11 years; I never thought I would even be on TV for four or five. To get 10 was great, to get 11 was amazing - I'm not hanging around for them this year." He later continued, "But I wasn't sacked, I haven't been hired and I'm not hanging around."〔 On 16 June, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini was confirmed to be returning for her fifth series followed by new judges, series 9 guest judge and ''The Voice UK'' coach Rita Ora, and BBC Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw, replacing Walsh and Mel B, who left the show after only one series.〔 The new judges were met with widespread negativity across social media and the press, especially regarding the appointment of Grimshaw. On 27 March 2015, Dermot O'Leary announced that he was quitting the show, after eight series, in order to pursue other projects. On 16 April, ITV confirmed that former contestant Olly Murs and Caroline Flack would take over presenting the show, having worked together as hosts before on the ''The Xtra Factor''. They became the first duo to host the show.〔 On 18 June 2015, it was confirmed that The Saturdays singer Rochelle Humes and Kiss FM DJ Melvin Odoom will be the new hosts of ''The Xtra Factor''. The show's announcer Peter Dickson announced his departure from the show on 28 July 2015. Dickson was later replaced by Redd Pepper for this series, who was only present for Judges' Houses. However, on 30 October 2015, Dickson confirmed that he would return to The X Factor for the live shows. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The X Factor (UK series 12)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
