Mel B is back on the X Factor (but not how you might think)

This should be interesting.

One day only.

Mel B is set to return to The X Factor for the first day of filming as Nicole Scherzinger has “other commitments” that day.

According to reports, Simon Cowell and Mel B are getting on just great on the set of America’s Got Talent and so, the music mogul thought she was the perfect stand-in for Nicole.

Of course, Mel is very familiar with the role as she was a judge for series 11, back in 2014.

A source told The Sun:

“Mel’s coming in as a guest judge to cover Nicole because she isn’t able to make the first day of filming.

“This is a diary clash that Nicole had booked in before she agreed to do X Factor and couldn’t change.

“Mel has been working with Simon as a judge on America’s Got Talent so was available to cover.

“He also knows she’ll come in and take no prisoners so is the perfect temporary replacement for the day.”

It definitely seems like this series is going to be VERY eventful.
