Gary Barlow and Tulisa have both told reporters that they are keen to return to The X Factor in 2012.

The judging panel pair were at the National TV Awards last night, where The X Factor beat off competition from Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing On Ice to win Best Talent prize. Speaking after the awards, Tulisa claimed in a press conference that shows like the X Factor will always have a place as an outlet for new talent.

"Everything, the way it works, you can never go wrong with voices and singing," she said.

Adding: “People always want to find the next big musician. There are so many undiscovered acts, the show brings acts like Little Mix and Marcus out.”

Speaking about the next series of the programme, Tulisa claimed: “We’ll just have to keep making things better and better. But at the end of the day, certain things are out of our control and we just have to find the talent and that’s what we’ll do.”

Little Mix performed their cover of En Vogue's 'Don't Let Go' at last nights ceremony.
