Former American Idol winner Jordin Sparks has thrown her weight behind P Diddy as a judge on next year’s season of the singing show.

The American rap star has already admitted that he’d be interested in joining the judging panel, telling GMTV that he’d even take a pay cut for the job. He said:

“As a matter of fact I have a new negotiation, I would take a five per cent cut on what he was getting. He was on something like $34 million, and that’s peanuts.”

Jordin Sparks jumped on the bandwagon yesterday when she suggested:

“He’s the best fit! He was great on ‘Making the Band’, he’s a producer and he’s been in the industry for a long time. I think he’d probably be the best fit.”

“We just need to tell him he needs to swear less,” she added. “They’ll have to bleep him out all the time!”

The show is reminiscent of Jade Goody’s search for a personal assistant and will put a group of eight hopefuls through a series of tasks designed to show who would be of most use to Mr Diddy.

VMtv’s head of acquisitions Amy Barham said: “If you liked The Apprentice and want to see the ultimate in a high-maintenance boss, then you’ll love I Want to Work For Diddy.

“The series is a big glossy reality entertainment brand, full of intense emotions, with plenty of humour, tears and drama that will fit neatly into primetime on Virgin1.”
