American pop star Kelly Rowland is to join hit TV show the X Factor.
The singer, 30, is expected to be formally announced as joining the show as a new judge in the coming days. The decision comes just day after Dannii Minogue surprisingly left the hugely popular ITV series.
Today, Miss Rowland expressed her excitement at joining the show.
She said: ‘The X Factor is an amazing show. I love Simon [Cowell] because he’s so honest. Everything he says I agree with. I don’t know what kind of judge I’ll be.’
Miss Rowland will be the third newcomer joining the panel when the programme returns later this year.
I found an article but it also said Gary Barlow is a new judge as well, but he can;t be because he is touring during the audition dates, so I don't think its true
