To add to all the problems that this seasons X Factor have had to cope with, they have now been dropped by sponsors Nokia. Dannii Minogue and Brain Friedman were found to replace judge Louis Walsh, Dermot O’Leary replaces Kate Thornton as Host and Fearne Cotton is to host the spin-off Xtra Factor after previous host Ben Shephard quit.
Mobile phone suppliers Nokia have given no reason for dropping their sponsorship. The show now has the task of finding a new sponsor.
