After the gorgeous Dannii Minogue announced that she was expecting her first child with her rugby player turned model boyfriend Kris Smith, rumours began flying around as to who will replace her on the X Factor judging panel.

One person who is super keen to sit next to Simon Cowell is Sugababe Amelle Berrabah. The singer partied with business guru Simon in Barbados over Christmas and has spent her time wisely on her return, laying the groundwork by gushing to The Daily Star about what a kind and generous man Simon is.

The singer said: “I’d love to work with him. He’s a lot more laid-back than you think.

"I’d love the opportunity. It would be brilliant.”

With ex Spice Girl Emma Bunton providing a pretty face on Dancing on Ice and Cat Deeley presenting So You Think You Can Dance? it seems Amelle is keen to join the ranks of reality beauties.

Could this see the end of the Sugababes? We can but hope...
