X-Factor have confirmed that Mel B will not be sitting on the judging panel for tonight’s show, but will instead be replaced by former judge Tulisa Contostavlos.
Following the Spice Girl’s illness, Tulisa, who last appeared as a judge on the talent contest's live shows in 2012, is set to return to Simon’s side.
X-Factor announced the news on Twitter this morning, tweeting:
Mel B is said to be ‘in a bad way’ after she collapsed with ‘extreme exhaustion’ on Thursday, and was rushed to hospital with a mystery illness.
Mel's act Andrea Faustini is one of the final three in the competition, who will be battling it out to be named the X-Factor winner this year.
Irish mentor Louis Walsh invited Tulisa back to the show this season, when she helped him pick the groups at Judges' Houses.
