Mel B joins X Factor judging panel

Mel B is the final addition to this year's X Factor judging panel.

The Spice Girl's role on the show was confirmed today (June 11) by the UK TV show.

The Brit, who has previously appeared on the programme as a guest judge, commented:

"Honesty is the best policy – right? And that’s what I’m going to bring more of this year, whether it’s spotting an incredible singer, giving someone a reality check or debating with Simon over who’s got it wrong! I can’t wait to get started and find some amazing talent.”

Show supremo Simon Cowell added: "I am thrilled that Mel B has agreed to be a judge. I thought she was fantastic as a guest judge. She is feisty, opinionated and, I believe, will be a great mentor."

Mel B joins Cowell, Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh on the panel, with Dermot O'Leary again on hand to present.

The singer has also appeared on the X Factor Australia and America's Got Talent.
