Take That star to replace Cowell on 'X Factor'

Simon Cowell has confirmed Gary Barlow will be a judge on this year's 'X Factor'.

The music mogul – who, along with Cheryl Cole, has quit his place on the judging panel to launch the US version of the talent show – revealed the Take That singer will replace him on the ITV1 programme and is the only judge to have signed a contract so far.
