Superstars Robbie Williams, Elton John and Westlife , are reportedly set to coach the X factor finalists later this year.

During the competition each if the three categorys (under 25, over 25 and groups) will be whittled down to just twelve acts. it is these lucky twelve that can look forward to some world class advice fropm some of the music business’ top stars.

The Sunday Mirror reported that Robbie Williams will assist in coaching the 16-25 year-olds, Westlife will advise the groups and Elton John will coach the over 25s.

A source told the newspaper: “Simon said he wanted this series to be the biggest and best yet. This is a massive coup.”

But before you get too excited, don’t believe all you read in the papers, these guys seem pretty convinced that Robbie won’t be doing it. Is he just trying to throw us off the scent? Who knows! We’ll just have to wait and see!
