Simon Cowell 's latest talent show The X Factor: Celebrity will have a second series.
The music mogul, who recently turned 60, has revealed that the start-studded spin-off will return to TV next year.
The father-of-one also dished that the series, that has been aired on ITV since 2004, could be on a different TV network as he has had an offer from a competing channel for the show.
When asked if The X Factor : Celebrity will be making a return, Simon told new magazine: "As an idea we would be crazy not to do a second series.
"Funnily enough, I've had an offer from another network to take it. So, to answer your question, it will be on next year."
The star also boasted that he calculated the viewing figures for the talent show as "about six to seven million a week."
after he chose to save Vinnie Jones - despite the former footballer pleading to leave.
The judge refused to respect Vinnie's wishes as he landed in the bottom two with Kevin McHale.
After Vinnie performed a version of Galway Shawl, he told Simon, Louis Walsh and Nicole Scherzinger that he had had a "fantastic time" but that he wanted to leave.
"It's been everything I needed since my wife passed," he told them.
However Simon insisted that he still wanted to make the final decision and decided to save Kevin.
Earlier, Vinnie also admitted that he wanted to leave the show because he had a golf competition coming up.
Furious fans flocked to Twitter to lash out at the media mogul.
One tweeted: "A compete sham! @SimonCowell should of let @VinnieJones65 go with dignity after that gorgeous song from the heart! I respect Vinnie but he’s no singer #CelebrityXFactor #vinniejones."
While another commented: "I am officially never watching Xfactor again!!! @druidDUDE should not have went home over Vinnie Jones!!! And that was the worst version on that awful song that I have ever heard #CelebrityXFactor."
A third remarked: "Vinnie wanted to go! Why didn’t you let him and keep Kevin who really wants/needs it? Kevin sang his heart out #CelebrityXFactor."
Another fumed: "VINNIE LITERALLY SAID HE HAD A GOLF TOURNAMENT TO GO TO HE DOESN’T GIVE A F***, KEVIN OWNED THAT S*** AND HE WON THAT SING OFF HES THE BEST ACT IN THAT COMPETITION AND HIS ASS GOT SENT HOME. IT REALLY SHOWS THAT THE BRITISH PUBLIC ARE F***** #XFactorCelebrity #CelebrityXFactor."
