Outhwaite 'criticises X Factor focus'

Tamzin Outhwaite has claimed that the X Factor is too much about the judges.

The Don't Stop Believing judge said that her new Five show will focus on the performers and not the panel, which also includes Blue singer Duncan James.

"I love The X Factor. I don't want our show to be all about us four," the 39-year-old told The Sun.

"It has to be about the talent. This is a very different programme."

Outhwaite has told DS that she is "unlikely" to make a return to EastEnders.
