She’s Back: Sharon to Return As Highest-Paid Judge

There were rumours she was returning but now Sharon Osbourne is said to have agreed a £2 million (€2.3 million) deal with The X Factor.

The star, who left the show in 2007, is reportedly on the brink of signing a new contract which would see her take her seat as the highest-paid judge ever.

 

Sharon had a great time on the show before with Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell.

And that’s not all she has to look forward to as she is expected to pocket another half a million in book and publishing deals.

A source told the Sunday People: “Sharon will be an X Factor judge and it is only a matter of days before the deal is finalised.”

 

The majority of last year's judging panel looks set to return.

It was thought that the problems in her personal life might have put Sharon off signing but it seems she is still keen to take the opportunity. (Who wouldn't with that pay packet?)

Nicole Sherzinger, Gary Barlow and Louis Walsh also look likely to return to the panel but as we well know, that could all change by the summer!
