BOSSES at The X-Factor are reportedly lining up holograms of stars such as Michael Jackson, Amy Winehouse and Elvis Presley to boost ratings.
Rather than guest acts on the show - which in the past have included the likes of Beyonce and Kylie Minogue - holograms of deceased superstars could perform alongside contestants.
A show insider said: "Imagine Elvis or Amy Winehouse at the grand final. It would be incredible TV and an amazing experience for contestants.
"The technology's there and has been used on several big stages. The X-Factor final is perfect for something like this. It nearly happened last year after show boss Richard Holloway saw the Stevie Wonder hologram at Celine Dion."
