Simon Cowell, creator of ‘America’s Got Talent,’ hints at ‘X Factor’ revival

It’s a yes from Simon Cowell.

The former 63-year-old host of “The X Factor” wants to bring back the popular reality music competition show, which ran for 3 seasons and last aired in 2013.

“I like working with groups, and there aren’t that many groups at the moment, and we found some great groups on that show,” Cowell told Access Hollywood. “And it was like, yeah, I would do it just for that reason.”

“I think about 24 hours ago, I came to a decision. Literally, I was thinking on my own, if I had a choice, I would do it (in the US).”

“I was thinking about ‘Fifth Harmony,’ I was thinking about Camila (Cabello), and I was just thinking about how much fun we had,” Cowell revealed.

Cabello, the now 25-year-old singer-songwriter, achieved success on “The X Factor” after a failed solo audition, in which the TV personality willed her to the stage.

“She wasn’t really supposed to audition,” Cowell explained. “I happened to go backstage and I saw her crying,

asked her why she was crying, and she said, you know, it was too late for her to audition because she was a reserve.

Cowell told the crying singer, “Well, I’m one of the producers, you just got an audition.”
