Kylie To Be X Factor Judge

Kylie Minogue is set to be a judge on The X-Factor.

She is one of a number of guest stars being lined up to sit on the judging panel during the audition stage of the competition while her sister, regular panellist Dannii Minogue, is on maternity leave.

Dannii – who is expecting her first child with boyfriend Kris Smith in July – confirmed earlier this week that she will not be part of the audition stage of the next series of the talent-search competition, but sources close to the show insist she will return for the semi-finals.

A spokesperson for the 38-year-old star confirmed she will still be “a part of the show” despite speculation she will not return after giving birth.

Her representative said: “Dannii has absolutely not quit the show. She will still be a part of The X-Factor when it returns later this year.”
