Kelly Rowland is new ‘X Factor’ judge

Destiny’s Child star Kelly Rowland has revealed that she will be replacing Dannii Minogue as a judge on this season’s ‘X Factor’.

The singer is the third newbie on the panel along with Take That’s Gary Barlow and N-Dubz’s Tulisa Constavolos. The three will be joining ‘X Factor’ veteran Louis Walsh on the programme starting later this year.

Though now a solo artist, Rowland made her name as one third of Destiny’s Child with cousin – and now superstar – Beyonce Knowles and Michelle Williams.

On making the announcement, Rowland gushed: “’The X Factor’ is an amazing show. I love Simon [Cowell] because he’s so honest. Everything he says I agree with. I don’t know what kind of judge I’ll be.”

Check out Kelly Rowland making an appearance on the ‘Xtra Factor’ last year and making a few judgment calls on that season’s contestants:
