Channel 7 has this morning confirmed another rather badly kept secret – that Aussie pop star Natalie Bassingthwaighte will be the fourth and final judge and mentor on board this year’s X Factor panel.
She joins Guy Sebastian and Ronan Keating from last year’s show, along with former Scary Spice Mel B, whose addition to the show (also a badly kept secret) was confirmed at the end of April.
“I can’t wait to take on the role of mentor and kick some serious butt with the other judges,” she said in a prepared statement. “Game on!”
Natalie began her career as a musical theatre performer. She was later the lead singer of the Rogue Traders before leaving to concentrate on a solo career that spawned the hit singles ‘Alive’ and ‘Someday Soon’.
Australia's first stop for pop!

Love Nat! Will miss Kyle and Nat Imbruglia though. Hope the new series is successful
