Cheryl will make #XFactor return (no certainty yet for Louis and Mel B) http://sunpl.us/60184daa


Obviously not official confirmation but there's a strong chance Cheryl will return to The X Factor panel this year.

Ooh fantastic biggrin.gif I wasn't convinced she'd return at all but this is very promising.

I think the fact Simon did that using Cheryl's name is pretty much confirmation she's back, he wouldn't do that only to actually sack her next month.

A source claims that while Chezza is returning, it looks like Mel B and Louis Walsh are definitely out.

Cheryl Fernandez-Versini will return to the X Factor, it has been claimed.

The most successful female solo artist in British music history - who rejoined the ITV show's judging panel after a four year absence last year - is said to have inked a deal worth £2 million to return.

Chezza's new deal is a pay bump of £500,000 on her last contract, reports the Sun.

However, while Cheryl is said to be thrilled by her new deal, it doesn't look like Spice Girl - and the highest-selling artist on the panel - Mel B or Louis Walsh will be returning.

A source told the newspaper: "Mel and Louis almost certainly aren't re-signing, but Simon knows Cheryl is a huge draw."

The claims come after it was revealed that former judge Tulisa and reality superstar Kim Kardashian were tipped to join the judging panel after bookies slashed their odds on the pair.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star has emerged as one of the favourites for the job on the talent show's upcoming 12th series after bookmaker Coral trimmed her odds from 20/1 to just 5/1 following a flurry of bets.

Coral’s Nicola McGeady said: "Punters are hoping Kim Kardashian joins the X Factor line-up after backing her to land the job this afternoon.

"Louis Walsh is still very much in the running to return, but this year the odd suggest his time is up."

The bookie also has Tulisa available at a short price of 6/1 and fellow bookmaker Paddy Power has slashed the former X Factor judge's odds from a huge 33/1 to just 4/1 after significant interest today.

A source told Mirror Online that a number of bets on the 26-year-old beauty getting the job have been placed in shops in and around the Manchester area, as well as online and over the phone.

One punter even wanted to splash out £500 on a bet on Tulisa in a Paddy Power shop at odds of 33/1.

Paddy Power said: "Punters are lumping on Tulisa and catapulted her to become one of the top contenders for this year’s panel. The female boss could be back."

Despite the interest for Kim and Tulisa, both bookies still have Simon Cowell (1/50), Cheryl Fernandez-Versini (4/6) and Mel B (8/11) as the hot favourites to return to the panel.

Louis Walsh is now 4/1 joint fourth favourite alongside Tulisa with Paddy Power, while Coral are more confident he will return to the panel, pricing him at 3/1.

This comes just a week after he hinted he will not be returning for the upcoming series.

Speaking on Irish TV, he said: "I think I'm done with X Factor. I've done 11 seasons.

"That's a long time on television. I think they're going to change the show. I think they're going to get new faces."

One X Factor role which has been confirmed is the presenting spot as last night Caroline Flack and Olly Murs were named as the new co-hosts, replacing Dermot O'Leary, who quit last month after eight years at the helm.

Tulisa was a judge on The X Factor from 2011 to 2012 and she returned as a guest panellist last year for the first night of the week 10 live shows to fill in for an unwell Mel B.

Mirror Online has contacted an X Factor representative.

Seems a certainty now that she is returning again! Who do you want to see on the panel with Cheryl?

Is that a joke about Kim Kardashian? I'm not being funny but that would be the final nail in the coffin for X Factor.

laugh.gif Agreed there.

Is it only me who can see the panel actually staying the same? unsure.gif I'm sure Simon would ask Mel B back, and hasn't she said she'd like to return? Plus Louis says he's leaving every year...

I'll be gutted if Mel doesn't do a second year. sad.gif For me she was the best/most entertaining judge last year.

I definitely want to see both Cheryl and Mel back.

I've favoured a Louis axe year after year so I hope it finally happens this series. Will Young would be a great replacement imo.

Will Young would be a terribly boring judge imo, as would Robbie Williams, so it's annoying that they keep being suggested/rumoured for me.

Mel B BETTER come back, I don't think I could cope with a Tulisa and Cheryl combo.

AS IF Tulisa is coming back. Cheryl would never allow it.

Tulisa in 2011 = fab
Tulisa in 2012 = draining

If she rejoined the panel she'd need to be the way she was in her first series. She was so negative in the second one and seemingly not very into it. Probably no surprise given who the finalists were, but still... x

Cheryl needs to up her game on last year too. The one highlight I can think of was her poking herself in the face with a straw!

Never forget heart.gif

I don't think Cheryl was too bad last year, she just wasn't quite at her peak. Tulisa was really draining in her 2nd series though, I agree with Jay.

Basically, Mel B >

Cheryl was awful last year. She didn't do anything of note at all besides moan, and smile when the camera focused on her every few seconds.

Mel B >

You would not be such a fan of her as a JUDGE if you weren't such a Girls Aloud fan.

Tulisa was far more interesting as a TV personality than her in the two years she did (albeit considerably less so in her second year) so yes, i would very much welcome her return.
