Singer Sinitta has teased that 'The X Factor' panel will be very different this year by announcing that the news of the judges will 'shock' everyone.

Speaking about the forthcoming new series of the popular talent show, Sinitta explained that she knows what's in store and while she can't reveal anything yet it will be very exciting:

"Nothing's been solidly decided yet... but I kind of do know what is happening and it's exciting. I think you guys are going to be shocked. I think it's going to be like, 'Oh really?' But it's not going to be me on the panel."

She also told Digital Spy that although she has only ever been invited onto 'The X Factor' as a guest panelist, she would definitely accept a permanent judging role if it was offered to her:

"Ten years later, it's still the biggest joke running, right - 'Sinitta for X Factor judge'. But I would still do it if they asked."
