This week, you may notice that X Factor has lost its in-house Rock DJ, Robbie Williams.
Dont fret, however, as theres a very good reason hes away, and youll be in safe hands until his return.
The 44-year-old singer will be absent from some of the live shows due to tour commitments in South America, with claims Chic guitarist Nile Rodgers will be taking over his chair on Sunday.
Robbie has a packed tour schedule, including a date in Santiago in Chile on Monday 5 November.
This means, without the power of time travel, theres no way for him to be in his regular judges seat ~Saturday or Sunday this week.
Fellow judge Aydas husband Robbie will also be missing from the following week, once again with Nile Rodgers confirmed as a stand-in.
Sorry, this video isn't available any more.
Nile said of his new role, I had such a great time with Louis at the Judges House in Ibiza a couple of weeks ago that when the opportunity came to step in for Robbie I could not say no.

From Chic and Sister Sledge to Duran Duran and Daft Punk, Ive had great experiences with Groups in my career, so I look forward to giving them as much support as I can while Rob is away!
With that kind of back catalogue, were sure there wont be any problems.
Dont expect Robbie back until the weekend of 24 November, as hell be on tour until then.
Its not been revealed whos going to be replacing him on the weekend of 17 November, so that surprise is still to come.
The X Factor live shows continue Saturday on ITV at 8.35pm.
