Rumours have been abounding for months that Dannii Minogue is on the brink of being replaced on this years X Factor series.

So far suggestions for her replacement have included Charlotte Church, Robbie Williams and Lily Allen.

Lily sent the gossip network into overload yesterday when she confirmed that she would jump at the chance to act as a judge on the show.

She told The Sun: “I haven’t been asked but I’d love to do it. The world would be a lesser place if we did not have winners Leona Lewis and Alexandra.

“It’s a great programme — and I think I’d be quite good.”
