Simon Cowell is rumoured to be planning more X Factor spinoff shows for next year's series.

According to the Daily Star, the show's creator wants a new ITV2 series which provides behind-the-scenes footage of all the contestants.

The programme, which would air during the build-up to the Saturday night live shows, would be in addition to the long-running sister show The Xtra Factor.

"There is a huge interest in what the finalists get up to," said a source. "Simon knows he has the possibility of another ratings winner. It would give die-hard fans around four hours of viewing each Saturday night."

During the early series of X Factor, there were spinoff shows The Xtra Factor: The Aftermath and The Xtra Factor: Xcess All Areas, but both were pulled after series three.

Next year's series of The X Factor could go ahead without Dermot O'Leary or Simon Cowell, and with comedian James Corden as a new presenter, sources have suggested.

According to The Mail On Sunday, the Gavin & Stacey star is being lined up to front the programme after O'Leary suggested that he would step down to "look at other opportunities" should he fail to secure a hosting role on the US version of the show.

The paper adds that Corden - who has previously made appearances on The Xtra Factor and lent vocals to Cowell's World Cup track 'Shout' - has regularly been spotted at the show's Wembley studios since filming of the live rounds began there in October.

Meanwhile, friends of Cowell have claimed that the music mogul will quit his judging position in order to concentrate on the Stateside format, which - given Cheryl Cole's rumoured signing to the US show - would result in a dramatically different panel on the 2011 series of the UK programme.

"Simon is not coming back next year,"

Having James Cordan as a host is a huge mistake. He gets right up ny nose. I hope Dannii is back next year.
