If we would have bet on a member of the Black Eyed Peas joining the X Factor judging panel, we would have laid our money firmly on Cheryl's BFF will.i.am.
However, The Mirror is reporting tonight that his bandmate Fergie is about to sign on the dotted line to join Chezza, Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh for the upcoming series. Sources say that show bosses like the 38-year-old's "good looks and urban style" and negotiations to bring the star on board have been successful.
“It’s not a done deal just yet but things have been positive. Both sides are keen to move things forward and people at the show and ITV are excited at the prospect of having Fergie. She brings a lot to the show and her success globally with The Black Eyed Peas and her solo albums obviously speaks for itself. On top of that, she looks fantastic and fans love the glamour of the live shows.”
