ITV has announced the launch of a new talent show, The Double-X Factor.
The format will be similar to its famous predecessor, The X Factor, except that any woman who does too well will immediately be accused of being a man.

Each show will culminate in the judges lasciviously baying for the contestant to strip naked to prove she’s a woman, leading one audience member to say the idea that Simon Cowell has any desire to see a naked woman was 'the most implausible thing I’ve been expected to believe yet'.
