The singer will join Gary Barlow, Louis Walsh and Tulisa Contostavlos on the talent show in a reported £750,000 deal.

The former Pussycat Dolls star - who is dating Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton - replaced Cheryl Cole on the US version of the show after the Girls Aloud singer was dropped from the panel last year.
