Mel B to replace Dannii Minogue during X Factor auditions?

The ex-Spice Girl has been dropping hints she's set to step into Dannii Minogue's shoes during the audition stages

Ex-Spice Girl Mel B has dropped the biggest hint yet that she's set to step into Dannii Minogue's shoes during this year's X Factor.

It's already been revealed Mel has met executives in LA for secret talks about taking over from Dannii during the audition stages while she is away on maternity leave.

Mel has made no secret of her wish to appear on the UK show, and for months has been dropping mystic hints about bagging herself a seat on the X Factor panel.

And now the star has all but revealed the brand new deal in an interview.

'I can't really talk about that because I don't think it's my place to, but I'm sure some announcement's going to happen at some point and then we'll all know!' she told New! magazine.

We wonder what Cheryl will think of the new judging lineup?!
