Peter Dickson is returning to voice this year's X Factor live shows (do feel free to say that in your mind with his booming voice).

It was announced earlier this year that the voiceover artist had stepped down after eleven years on the show, but he's been persuaded to come back after a rush of support.

"While I was looking forward to getting my weekends back I have been so touched by the comments of thousands of fans of the show who were disappointed at my departure, that I am now delighted to say I'm back at The X Factor microphone," Dickson admitted.

And the man with the beloved voice can't wait to get is chops around some of this year's names:

"I'm really looking forward to tackling the names of this season's finalists - especially Bupsi! I’ll try to make it sound as nasty as possible!"
