Iggy Azalea replaces Dannii Minogue as X Factor Aus judge

Rapper Iggy Azalea is heading back to her native Australia to take on a new role as a judge on "The X Factor."
The "Fancy" star was recently rumoured to be in talks to join the judging panel on the hit reality show, following singer/TV personality Dannii Minogue's departure,.
The 26-year-old rapper, who hails from Sydney, has now admitted she was initially hesitant about taking the job, but the added benefit of being able to spend more time with her family while she works helped to sway her decision, reported Contactmusic.
"I really didn't picture myself being a judge on any kind of television show but I think that actually this could be a good fit for me, so I said yes," she told Sydney Confidential, revealing she is keen to help others from similar backgrounds break into the industry.

"I understand what it's like to have giant dreams and intend to help other young Australian's achieve theirs by sharing my knowledge and developing their talent in collaboration with 'The X Factor'."
Dannii, sister of pop superstar Kylie Minogue, originally joined "The X Factor Australia" in 2013 and last year shared judging duties with British singer/songwriter James Blunt, Guy Sebastian, and Chris Isaak for the show's seventh season.
It is not yet known if Blunt, Sebastian and Isaak will return to sit alongside Azalea on the show's eighth run, which is due to begin filming later this year.
Previous "The X Factor Australia" judges have included Ronan Keating, Natalie Imbruglia, Melanie Brown, and LMFAO's Redfoo.
