They’ve only just confirmed their new romance but Cheryl could be soon be joined by her new toyboy Liam Payne on this year’s X Factor judging panel.
Bookies have suggested that ratings could go through the roof if the show’s boss Simon Cowell cashes in on the publicity the pair’s relationship is generating.
According to the Daily Star, Jessica Bridge from Ladbrokes, said: “If Simon wants ratings to rocket then he needs to sign up Cheryl and Liam as judges.”
Louis Walsh has already suggested the pair should team up professionally in the recording booth too, dubbing Liam the “Gary Barlow” of 1D. “I think Liam is really talented. He’s a great songwriter. I think Liam will be good for Cheryl,” he said.
Louis Tomlinson was orginially slated to be taking a seat on the panel following Nick Grimshaw's departure...will be dumped for his fellow band-member?
