Britney heading for judges table

It's been gossiped about for months but it could be about to come true... Britney Spears is rumoured to have signed a deal making her a judge on the US version of The X Factor.

Although reps for the show and US TV network Fox TV are keeoing hush hush, a source revealed to E!: "There's been a lot of back and forth over the past few weeks as they negotiated the small details, but she's on. It's all completed and Britney is beyond excited."

With Simon Cowell having ditched Cheryl Cole, canning Nicole Scherzinger after one season and Paula Abdul leaving the show, Britney will have the biggest pop chops at the table - but do you think she has what it takes to be top judge? Share your thoughts you lovely lot!
