‘Bring back Mel B!’ The X Factor fans want Spice Girl to REPLACE Nicole Scherzinger
THE X FACTOR welcomed back a familiar face to the panel this evening, as former judge Mel B returned to a massive applause from fans as she stepped in for Nicole Scherzinger.
Judges are in for a scary surprise as Mel B returns
The 41-year-old’s signature snap and brutal honesty was celebrated by viewers in their droves on Twitter, who called for the Spice Girl to be recruited as a permanent judge instead of fellow girlband star Nicole.
“Why can't they have Mel B instead of Nicole all the time?” sighed one fan of the British icon, while someone else agreed: “Much rather Mel B to Nicole on the judging panel! Not gonna lie!”
Another enthused: “Shift Nicole to the side and bring back Mel B full time!”
One more asked: “Can Mel b come back full time for the X factor next year because she's literally the only thing making me want to watch the show,” before a fifth followed: “ Mel B should have been on the panel full time - not just a guest.”



So, after butchering Rick Astley’s Never Gonna Give You Up, the the hopeful soon got his wish, and in turn Louis got the chop.
After Simon asked the 46-year-old about his dreams, Philip replied: “Ultimately, I’d love to end up on that panel.”
Unsurprisingly, the bemused foursome chuckled away as Philip explained: “It would open doors.”
And for one audition only, The X Factor panel - traditionally made up of four of the biggest names in showbiz - included humble Philip Hadlow from Margate.
The X Factor airs Saturdays and Sundays at 8pm on ITV.
