No Girls Aloud?! Cheryl 'Set To Become Only Female X Factor Judge'

It seems it really is a case of no Girls Aloud on this year’s X Factor, with Cheryl Fernandez-Versini set to be the only female judge.

According to The Sun, Nick Grimshaw has all but signed on the dotted line to join Chezza and boss Simon Cowell, with SiCo keen to inject some more testosterone into the panel.

A source told the tabloid: “Simon thinks by having three men, Cheryl will flourish. He also likes the ‘three men and a Geordie’ joke.

"The danger is that he will lose those great spats between the female judges like the ones between Dannii Minogue and Sharon Osbourne, and Kelly Rowland and Tulisa."

Well, at least the gorgeous Geordie will always be No.1 when it comes to the style stakes!
