See, there they are together in the pic above (because, actually, it's all happening now and, by the magic of TV, will be piped into your homes at a later date).

It's a couple of years since the two worked together on the show so if you're a fan of the Cowell-Tweedy-Factor axis, this can only be good news.

A source from The Sun adds some colour to the collaboration, saying “Simon and Cheryl bonded over parenting during a private jet and helicopter flight to the house.

“She curtsied for him she first got onto the plane – it was her way of breaking the ice.

“Despite the break they’ve had from each other, they’re still clearly very close.”

Lovely stuff.
