A new series of The X-Factor is about to get underway in the UK with the first round of auditions and it appears as though music mogul Simon Cowell is one step closer to finalising the judging panel with the reported signing of Mel B. Now that could really spice things up ahead of the new series.
Mel B, or Scary Spice as she is more affectionately known, appeared as a guest judge two years ago and impressed Simon during her short stay on the show. A source revealed all to the Daily Mirror Newspaper about Mel B meeting Cowell and the possibility of her being the fourth judge for the upcoming series as they said, “Mel flew in specially to see Simon and they met in his office at Sony HQ. Melanie has been a front-runner for a long time now, mainly because she did such a good job as a guest judge a couple of years ago.”
The source also went on to say, “She’s got the necessary experience, has a proven track record in the music industry and knows her stuff. Although Alesha is still in the frame, Mel and Simon have agreed personal terms and everyone is confident the deal will be announced shortly.”
If Mel B is announced as the fourth X-Factor judge it will be interesting to see how she gets on with Cheryl Cole. They could be the best of friends and get on like a house on fire, or it be fireworks all the way! Do you think Cheryl and Mel B will hit it off, or will they be at each other’s throats from day one?
