Is Cheryl allowed on X Factor?
 
 

It seems the battle of the X Factor judges is about to get bigger - as another celeb is added to the panel.

Simon Cowell has confirmed that he, Irish music mogul Louis Walsh and Sharon Osbourne will be joined by a fourth judge in the next series, according to The Sun.

Although TV's Mr Nasty hasn't commented on who might fill the fourth seat, it's rumoured Girls Aloud singer Cheryl Cole might be offered the slot.

"Simon really likes Cheryl's outspoken attitude and thinks she could brighten up the show," a source said.

The singer, who's married to footballer Ashley Cole, is certainly no stranger to TV talent shows. She shot to fame in Popstars: The Rivals in 2002, which saw a group of male and female singers battling for a place in a girl group, Girls Aloud, and a boy band, the short-lived One True Voice.

Louis Walsh is the manager of her group.
