Swap One For Another: Spice Girl Takes Former Bandmate’s Role on Aussie Talent Show

Geri Halliwell will replace her former bandmate Melanie Brown (better known as Mel B) on Australia's Got Talent.

The Spice Girl, who appeared as a guest judge on last year's UK version of The X Factor, has been named as the fourth judge on the Aussie talent show

Geri has just been revealed as the fourth judge on Australia's Got Talent.

She told an Austalian television network she is excited about the move: "Shows like that are brilliant and I love the opportunity they give to normal, everyday people... Plus, I get to come to Australia."

Mel B was originally set to take the seat but had to leave because of a contract dispute with Channel 7 over Australian X Factor on which she was a judge for two series.

The pop star did a stint on last year's The X Factor.

Geri insists that this hasn't caused any trouble between the two fiesty stars: "She actually said, 'I just want you to know I think you should do it cause you're gonna have a great time.'"

While that's a lovely thing to say, we're still not hearing the words: 'I'm not jealous at all and am happy that you got the part.'
