Now that she's confirmed to be out, I would expect an announcement regarding her replacement today or some time this week. We all know it's Sharon, but would be nice to make things official considering the US panel has been announced.

I was getting worried with all the reports that Tulisa would be kept after Nicole apparently quit. But her departure obviously rubbishes those reports, and with her confirmation, it looks like Nicole will be back as Tulisa was her 'back up' and now she's gone that must mean Nicole has signed up.

I loved Nicole last year, she was by far the best judge. Her and Sharon get on well also as I remember Sharon having Nicole at judges homes. Looks like the chemistry on this panel could really work.

Sharon will put Gary in his place, guaranteed!
