Breaking News:  It is now official. X Factor’s Simon Cowell is in talks with Three Tenors star Aled Hall from Pencader, with view to Aled being a judge on the next new series of the popular Saturday night show!

Mr Cowell has been keeping a close eye on Aled following his narrow escape in February last year, when a tree fell on his car due to high winds and he had to be freed by the emergency services, Special Branch.

It is also reported that Simon Cowell is a big fan of the popular S4C show ‘Noson Lawen’, where he has seen Aled perform on numerous occasions.

At this point in time, we are led to believe that negotiations surrounding fees are taking place and it has been mentioned that a sum of around £80,000 per episode is being considered.  Due to time and travel commitments, Aled is requesting that at least half of the X Factor shows are to be recorded at the new Ffwrnes Theatre in Llanelli.

This will be a much needed boost for the town.  I can’t wait!  Watch this space…..
