Robbie Williams is rumoured to be a new judge on The X Factor.
A report in the Star, claims that Simon Cowell is planning to dump Dannii Minogue and replace her with the pop superstar.
The supremo is said to have held top secret talks with Robbie about joining the judging panel of the X Factor next year.
An insider source said: “Robbie is perfect for the job and Simon is confident that he is going to get him to sign.
“Dannii has had a good couple of years on the show, but Simon wants to revamp the panel.
“Robbie’s cheeky attitude and success in the business make him the perfect candidate.”
The move would see the return of Robbie to UK television. The 34-year-old star has been largely out of the public eye since the release of his disappointing album Rudebox in 2006.
Williams, who is based in Los Angeles, is planning to release a new album next year and a move back to the UK would definitely see the singer return from the showbiz wilderness.
Dannii Minogue has repeatedly said that she has been offered a new contract by Cowell to appear on next year’s show but rumours that she is to be given the axe continue to appear in the media.
She had another bad week after an on-air fight during Saturday’s show with Louis Walsh left her in tears.
And then Dannii saw another of her acts, Rachel Hylton, get eliminated from the contest.
