Mel B for X Factor UK?

Mel B is reportedly in talks to replace former Pussycat Dolls singer Nicole Scherzinger on the X Factor if she fails to sign a new deal.

Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh are expected to return on the panel, while Sharon Osbourne is rumoured to be making a comeback, replacing N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos.

According to The Sun, Scherzinger has been offer a £1 million to return to the show, but the star has not made her mind up as yet as she is carefully considering her options because she has a new album out in November.

A source told the newspaper, “Nicole is causing some worry. Bosses want her after her success last year, but she doesn’t know if she can give all her energy to the show.

“Producers don’t want to be left in the lurch like last year so Mel is being lined up in case talks fail.”

Mel B served as a guest judge during the 2012 auditions following her success on the panel of the Australian version of the show. She’s currently working on America’s Got Talent.
