We're predicting a weekend of seeeeriously mixed emotions coming up – on the one hand it's The X Factor final, which is exciting AF. But on the other, the show will be OVER, which is making us :(.

At least Celebrity Big Brother isn't too far off – see the rumoured line-up HERE.

This series has been particularly good for a number of reasons – Honey G, the fact that a whole load of contestants were ALLEGEDLY porking in strange places like the stairs and the cupboard, and, of course, the judging panel.

Last year's was a bit of a disaster in comparison, let's be real. Dermot O'Leary WASN'T EVEN THERE.

It was a dark and difficult time.

But we can all breathe a big old sigh of relief, as it's now OFFISH confirmed that Dermz will be reprising his role as host.

When asked on Good Morning Britain if he would be returning, he replied: "I'm here for a while."

Louis Walsh (who was just the subject of a MEGA Twitter rant from Liam Payne of all people – read here) also confirmed he'd be back, saying he'd signed up for "two more years."

Thank the lord. If a judging panel doesn't have Louis Walsh in it, is it really a judging panel?

The rest of the panel are yet to be confirmed, however Simon Cowell has previously indicated that he'd like them to return.

When asked by Digital Spy whether the current panel will return next year, he said: "I hope so yeah. Will you invite them?"

YAAAAASSS.

In other news, Matt Terry has revealed that he gets sent some seriously bizarre stuff from fans – see what he's on about HERE.

And in not-related-in-any-way-at-all-but-exciting-all-the-same-news, the BAYWATCH trailer is here. Zac Efron sans shirt is always relevant, TBH.
