Rita Ora Hot Right Now For X Factor Job

Mel B has been axed from the X Factor judging panel and there are rumours that Louis Walsh could be the next to go.

We’ve priced up who we might expect to see on the panel this coming season.

Rita Ora has been hotly tipped and has been receiving some support since the news broke that Mel B got the boot. At 11/10 it looks as though Rita is saying RIP to the Voice UK and shining her light on the X Factor.

Simon Cowell is no doubt returning to his seat on the panel and although Cheryl Ferenandez-Versini’s spot has yet to be confirmed, she joins the X Factor boss at the top of the betting at 1/66 to be a judge for another year.

Louis Walsh’s place on the show may be up in the air, but after declaring to leave once before and never actually going, BoyleSports believes the Mayo man could be staying and has installed at 10/11.

Louis Tomlinson is next in the betting at 2/1 to join the panel, with Robbie Williams remaining a 5/1 shot despite dismissing rumours. Other names in the mix for position as judge on the 2015 panel are Ashley Roberts (6/1), former judge Gary Barlow (8/1), Rylan Clarke (14/1), Tulisa (16/1), Leona Lewis (18/1) and Zayn Malik (20/1).

Voice Of Ireland coach Kian Egan is also in the running at 20/1, with fellow coach Bressie a 100/1 longshot.
