Spice Girl Mel B is reportedly on the verge of signing a 1million pound contract to become an 'X Factor' judge.
Show's boss Simon Cowell, 54, is willing to break the bank to secure the 38-year-old singer's place on the panel in time for auditions starting in June, reported Daily star.
"It's pretty much a done deal. And, Simon thinks Mel will be perfect for the show. Fine details such as her expenses budget and filming dates need to be agreed. Other than that, she's ready to go," a source said.
Mel B will be joining Cowell, Louis Walsh, 61, and Cheryl Cole, 30, on the talent show, which will return this summer.
Cowell, who already pulled a huge amount for Cole's return on the show, is spending well over budget on the panel for this year's series as he wants the show to return to its original fame.
