Alesha Dixon for X Factor

Alesha Dixon is ready to replace Ms Cheryl Cole on X Factor (thank goodness, it's about time!). But first they have to rob her from BBC1's Strictly Come Dancing which would be a great steal for ITV1.

Lily

Sarah

Simon Cowell reckons her experience as a solo artist and singer/rapper with urban outfit Mis-Teeq will give her the clout to critique upcoming talent. The 32-year-old has a similar background to Cheryl, having been in girl group and won a major TV contest, and has also proved she can fill big shoes by replacing Arlene Phillips on the Strictly panel.

Tulisa

Dannii is likely to be back on the panel, but still in the frame are Girls Aloud’s Sarah Harding, 29, N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos, 22, and Smile singer Lily Allen, 26.
