Geri Halliwell is the first X Factor guest judge
Geri Halliwell will tomorrow become the first guest judge to stand in for Dannii Minogue on The X Factor. The outspoken former Spice Girl will join Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole and Louis Walsh in Glasgow for the first set of auditions – and she can’t wait. It’s not the first time Geri has sat on a judging table, as she was also partly to thank for Cheryl Cole winning her place in Girls Aloud all those years ago. There’s no way Geri will sit quietly and obey Simon’s lead, either – we think she could be one of the most entertaining judges yet. What do YOU think?
