X FACTOR fans got a first look at the new panel tonight as a special teaser aired during the Love Island final.
Robbie Williams, wife Ayda Field and show boss Simon Cowell all appeared in the trailer while fellow new judge Louis Tomlinson was absent.
It saw Robbie get a text and say: "Judges, it's time to face the music. #itsayesfromme"
Love Island voiceover legend Iain Stirling then promised the X Factor would be back soon.
The singer recently joked that he and wife Ayda Field's banter on show has seen them nicknamed “Richard and Judy on acid” by audience members at Wembley Arena.
And by the sound of things the pair could be heading for marriage counselling by the end of the week.
In a heated exchange during auditions Robbie told Ayda: “Give Love Island a call because I’m ready to recouple.”
Ayda prompted his comments after the Rock DJ singer offered his glass of water to contestant Kyle Brown to help calm his nerves.
She teased: “I wouldn’t touch that – I know where his mouth has been.” A show insider said: “Simon is loving the fireworks between the couple, and the other judges are egging them on.
“It’s given the show a new lease of life and producers are loving it.”

The pair are joined on the show’s revamped judging panel by Louis Tomlinson and Simon Cowell.
This year’s X Factor is fast becoming the Robbie and Ayda show, with jibes between them taking centre stage during auditions this week.
So far Ayda has made fun of Robbie’s past drug taking, cheesy dance moves and difficulty in trying to crack the States.
Their own chat show can’t be far away.
