Girls Aloud singer, Cheryl Cole has been tipped as the new X Factor judge, replacing Louis Walsh.

A source told The Daily Mail:

“Cheryl is perfect for the job because she has been through the reality television experience.

“She is the only judge to have been on the receiving end of the sometimes harsh comments, and she is aware how hard you have to work to make it from being on a show like The X Factor to being a successful popstar.

Cheryl is also totty and her star status is growing by the day. She has a great profile.”

So thats Cheryl, Sinitta, Dannii Minogue and Randy Jackson ……..thats a lot of judges!
