Amanda Holden has admitted that Simon Cowell is 'disappointed' with this year's 'X Factor' but thinks the music mogul could rescue the show by returning to the judging panel.
'The X Factor' has been losing out to the Beeb's 'Strictly Come Dancing' in the Saturday night ratings war with the dancing competition pulling in 2 million more viewers than ITV's singing contest.

Speaking at the Collar and Coats Gala Ball for Battersea Dog's and Cat's Home, Amanda said: "I think that he's probably disappointed, but if he's got any sense he'll get on his white horse and he'll come charging back next year and save it.
"I think Simon should come back to the UK. I just miss him. I want him to come home."
Simon to the rescue?
Meanwhile, Amanda has revealed she'd love to host a remake of 'Jim'll Fix It'
"If I had a dream show, I probably shouldn't even mention it in this climate, but it would be like a kind of Fix It show," she told Digital Spy.
