'The X Factor Australia: New Host + Judges

This is the final line up of judges for this year.

This marks the first time since 2005 that the show will have three judges on its panel instead of four. The show went on hiatus after its first season in 2005, and when it returned in 2010, it had a four-person judging panel.

Adam this week issued this statement: “I am very excited to join 'X Factor' in Australia and am looking forward to helping people shine their brightest. Australia has always been one of my favorite places to tour. The Aussies I’ve met are so kind and good-humored – so the thought of getting to live in Sydney is very exciting.”

Guy Sebastian, who was the first winner of 'Australian Idol' in 2003, was originally an 'The X Factor Australia' judge from 2010 to 2012, and he returned to the show's judging panel in 2015.

Adam Lambert has had his own rise through the reality show TV singing format - he came in second place on 'American Idol' in 2009, and has since gone on to become an international best-selling artist as a solo singer, as well as touring with Queen as the band's lead singer.

Meanwhile, Iggy Azalea has been an artist since 2014; the female solo rapper has had multiplatinum success in several countries.

The show's eighth season premiere date is yet to be announced. Stay tuned.
