Pop Idol set to return?

Pop Idol could be returning to the screens soon.

According to the Sun, Simon Fuller and Freemantle Media are currently taking bids on the format and Channel Five and Sky could be battling with ITV for the opportunity to re launch the programme.

Apparently a decision will be made by the end of November.

The show ran for two consecutive years, Will Young winning the first series and Michelle McManus the second.

The American version, American Idol is now in its sixth series.
