SIMON Cowell wants Victoria Beckham on the judging panel of his new US reality TV show based on The X Factor.
Reality TV guru Simon Cowell was so impressed with Victoria Beckham’s guest appearance on American Idol that he wants her as a permanent judge on his US version of The X Factor.

A source said: “She was incredibly flattered, not to be mention surprised. Victoria told Simon she needs time to think about it as she is so busy right now.”

Simon is thought to be taking Girls Aloud member and fellow X Factor judge Cheryl Cole over to the US to launch the new programme.

But Victoria had better watch her comments if she wants a permanent spot on the judging panel, after recently saying she was surprised at how “short” Simon was in person.

She said: “I am always surprised at how short Simon is. I have known him for a while but it still always shocks me, we have to call it vertically challenged so he doesn’t get too self-conscious.”

Revealing how her stint on American Idol went, she said: “I saw so much talent, and to be a part of making someone’s dream come true was exciting for me.”
