There have been rumours circulating about this for months, but last night it was finally confirmed: Britney Spears and Demi Lovato are the two new judges joining the X Factor USA panel.

The pair joined existing judges LA Reid and Simon Cowell at the first official photo call for Fox last night. (Remember when that was Cheryl this time last year?)

30-year-old Britney and 19-year-old Disney star Demi replace last year's judges Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger (who replaced Cheryl, remember? Please do try to keep up.)

While Britney kept it short and sweet in plum Alexander Wang, Demi opted for a more out-there style in an asymmetric Falguni and Shane Peacock design.

We wouldn't have liked to be in Simon's shoes after making those two particular phone calls...

Britney took to her Twitter page last night to share the exciting news with her fans (all 16-and-a-half million of them), posting a picture of her new panelist pals.

"#BritneyXFactor #SimonBritneyDemiLA" she wrote.

(We hope she's not going to talk in hash tags the whole way through the series.)

Ahh, it's all just another round in Simon's game of talent show musical chairs, isn't it? What do YOU make of the new line-up? Leave your comments below...
