Simon Cowell has hinted at the possibility of a new X Factor-style show in future as he made his first-ever appearance on BBC’s The One Show.

The music mogul appeared on the sofa alongside singer-songwriter Lucy Spraggan to help promote her new single.

Asked if there would be “a new vehicle to refeed the pop engine”, the pair shared a knowing look and a smile.

“When we started the show in the first place, it was honestly with the feeling that people need a platform,” Cowell said.
