Husband and wife Robbie and Ayda joined the 2018 X Factor as new judges alongside former One Direction member Louis Tomlinson.
The couple are said to be pocketing £10 million for their appearances on the show.
A source told Tellymix: ”This is costing ITV a huge expense, it will be one of the most expensive shows on TV.
"Robbie and Ayda initially wanted £12million but ITV cut a hard bargain."

Louis Tomlinson, who found fame on the long-running TV talent show, reportedly scooped £4 million for taking part, according to the Daily Mirror.
Simon previously said of the new line up: "This new panel is all about optimism, everyone has a real passion for finding a new star.
“The three new judges bring a whole new energy and I’m excited."
As well as a new judging panel, there were more changes to the series this year.
This included the bootcamp stage being axed, as acts headed straight from the auditions to the six chair challenge.
The X Factor continues Saturday at 8.25pm on ITV.
