The permanent three as confirmed are Tulisa, Mel and Simon.

Throughout the series, a different judge will fill the fourth seat. The details are (apparently, anyway) still being finalised regarding what this means for Sharon's role. She is either going to join as a fifth judge in the live shows, or will become the 'permanent' fourth judge for the live show period.

Throughout the auditions, a different fourth judge will join the panel - with Robbie filling it for the longest and for the most important parts of the show, including Six Chair Challenge and Judges Homes before he passes the category on. He will not be judging the live shows.

I have been told that guest judges are - in addition to Robbie - Ricky Martin, Rita Ora, Kylie Minogue and Mariah Carey.

Very interesting development and was not the initial plan at all. Louis was going to be on the panel until he gave way only two weeks ago...

Also Mariah would be a mess as a guest judge

Didn’t she have a feud when she was on American Idol :skull:
