After months of speculation and countless names thrown into the hat, it seems Mel B has finally put pen to paper to become the fourth judge on The X Factor.
The former Spice Girl has agreed terms and signed a £1 million deal to join the panel according to reports this morning.
A source told The Mirror: “Mel B was Simon’s number one choice for the final place on the panel… She is certainly not a shrinking violet and will say exactly what she thinks. She will stir things and be up for a laugh which is important”.
While Mel is more than used to the role (she was a guest judge on a previous series and was also on the panel for America’s Got Talent), it will be interesting to see how she gets on with Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh.
We’ll certainly be tuning in… for the first few episodes anyway!
Mel B has apparently signed a deal for this year’s series of The X Factor.
