Amelle Berrabah

Amelle Berrabah has revealed she would love to be a judge on The X Factor.

The Sugababe singer has set her eye on the job now that mentor Dannii Minogue has announced her pregnancy - which could leave a potential spot open on the panel for the forthcoming seventh season.

"I'd love the opportunity, it would be brilliant," she told the Daily Star.

The 25-year-old is already friends with Simon Cowell, whom she met as she holidayed in Barbados with bandmates Heidi Range and Jade Ewen.

"Simon was amazing, he's such a lovely man - kind and generous and really funny," she gushed.

"He has a wicked sense of humour. We're good mates and obviously he's a great businessman. I'd love to work with him. He's a lot more laidback than you think."
