'X Factor' judges demand more cash

X Factor judges Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue have requested more cash from ITV.

The trio reportedly asked for an increase in their salaries after learning that the X Factor results show is likely to be moved to Sunday nights when the fifth series returns later this year. The change would see the panellists working over two consecutive nights each week.

While Simon Cowell has a £20 million three-year deal with ITV, Sharon, Louis and Dannii have been busy negotiating their new deals.

"We are working everything through now and just waiting to dot the Is and cross the Ts," a source told The Sun. "We're very nearly there, but now that the judges have heard about the new show they want a bit more cash. And once one asks, then the rest of them ask. We'll get there in the end."
