Mel B replaces Cheryl

We don't know about you, but we're getting a bit fed up of how much this X Factor malarkey has been dragged out. The will she/won't she about Cheryl on the panel of the US version of the show was interesting at first, but four months down the line with Simon still trying to tease us about whether she has managed to nab one of the coveted spots is getting tiresome.

But whether Cheryl will be on the US X Factor or not, it's looking more likely that either way she won't be back on our version of it.

Mel B 'accidentally' let slip that she is in the running for the panel. She said in an interview that she was moving back to the UK shortly for work and would be here a while then when she was asked if it was to replace Cheryl on The X Factor she said, "I don’t think I was meant to say that though. Oh sorry! Pregnant brain… Maybe that was a secret."

She continued, "I’m in so much trouble, why did I do this interview."

Guess this is another X Factor rumour that we'll have to wait and see before we know the truth.
