Cheryl will join Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue on this year’s search for a new singing sensation on the hit ITV show. Coming from Popstars: The Rivals in 2002, she has had a great insight into the workings of such talent searches.

Taking about her new role Cheryl has said, “I’m so excited to be part of such a great show and although it’s scary joining a huge programme like The X Factor, it’s a massive honour to be following in the footsteps of Sharon Osbourne.”
