Robbie Williams Favourite To Replace Dannii Minogue As X Factor Judge
Monday 01 December 2008 at 12:50
 Rumours have been doing the rounds for the entire series of x Factor that Dannii Minogue is judging the show for the last time and Paddy Power are now betting on who replaces the Aussie singer. Her position on the show has been somewhat undermined by the addition of Cheryl Cole this year and it seems she is no longer required by Simon Cowell for X Factor.
Ex Take That Star Favourite To Join Cowell And Walsh
The favourite, at 4/1 with Paddy Power, is Robbie Williams. The former Take That singer has not been in the public eye recently and reports have suggested he could return to Take That. He would certainly add to the four member judging panel and would be a much younger male mentor than the likes of Louis and Simon.
LuLu Is Second Favourite
The second favourite is LuLu who is 8/1 with Paddy Power. LuLu would probably be a bit similar to how Sharon was and she is a realistic contender although she may be a little short in the betting.
Paula Abdul Could Cross The Atlantic
Tied on 9/1 with Paddy Power are Myleene Klass and Paula Abdul. Myleene is a former Popstars winner but she seems to have moved on since then and she would be a bit similar to Cheryl. If Myleene would be too similar to Cheryl, then Paula Abdul would certainly be too similar to Dannii. Paula serves the same purpose as Dannii on American Idol and whether she would want to spend the best part of six months over here is debateable.
Best Bet Found Below
The best bet by far is a return for Sharon Osbourne at 10/1 with Paddy Power. She has recently revealed she left X Factor because of Dannii and the dismissal of Minogue would open the door for a return. Another fair bet who is already involved in the show is Sinitta and she is 12/1 with Paddy Power.
