Gary Barlow Replacing Simon Cowell



As I reported a few weeks ago TakeThat star Gary Barlow is set to fill in for Simon Cowell on the UK's X Factor.

According to sources Gary was was officially hired yesterday alongside confirmed judge Louis Walsh. Last night a source said:
"Louis has been told he's back - and Gary is now a definite. Gary knows the business inside and out. If anyone could replace Simon, it's him."
So who is going to fill in for Little Miss Geordie Cheryl Cole? Apparently X Factor producers have been in serious talks with both Kelly Rowland and Alesha Dixon, although she is currently a judge on Strictly Come Dancing.

Meanwhile Danni Minogue has been invited back to the show but has yet to sign any contract.

I don't know about Gary, sure he is talented and knows the business inside out, but he's too much of a softie. I think Robbie Williams would have been just perfect. What do you think?
