All of the stuff that I've read about in the press. I mean, I haven't spoken to these people.
-
So Cheryl's back. Simon's back. Louis, well, he'll probably be back. So the question on
-
everyone's lips is who will take fourth seat on The X Factor judging panel? Well, we're
-
here in central London for the launch of the X Factor musical I Can't Sing! to find out just that.
-
I think Rihanna would absolutely smash it apart, but it's whether she's got the time
-
to do it or not. If she has, fantastic.
-
If I was booking it, I'd put like a rock star in that seat, just to give it a totally different
-
angle. Like Cheryl came through Pop Stars. You know, Simon and Louis are obviously managers.
-
To have someone that's come and built a band from a practice room to an arena or stadium,
-
I think that would be such an interesting perspective to have on the show.
-
-We should do a week each, should we? -That'd be good.
-
A rotation for Union J.
-
Guest judges. I can see that.
-
I would like to see Rihanna on there. That would be really cool. I don't know. Anyone.
-
Beyonce. Imagine? Imagine Beyonce on there. Imagine what she'd be wearing.
-
Ollie would be good. Ollie would be really good. Ollie would be good because it'd be
-
a real like sort of the show would eat itself in a way. Someone who's been through everything,
-
and it shows they can now be a judge. Ollie would be a great judge. He works very hard.
-
So the celebs had their say, but boss Simon Cowell wasn't giving anything away. However,
-
he said he's more than happy to have our favourite Geordie back on the panel.
-
Simon, obviously Cheryl's back. We're so happy. How did you do it? What did you do?
-
I charmed her.
-
Was there anything in particular that made her change her mind?
-
You know why she came back? When we had a conversation at my house and we were talking
-
about the talent in that final year, 2010 - One Direction, Rebecca Ferguson, Cher Lloyd,
-
Matt Cardle - we just had great people. And we just suddenly thought 'we want to do the
-
same thing all over again.' And that was the incentive to do it - the belief that there
-
are still great people in this country left.
-
So who will take that last remaining seat of the judging panel? Well, we'll just have
-
to wait and see.
