Mel B is thought to be replacing Cheryl Cole as a judge on X Factor, after she let the plans slip out during a Heart FM interview.<\/p>\n

The former Spice Girl was speaking to Jamie Theakston and said she was moving back to Britain with her family for \u2018quite some time\u2019 this year.<\/p>\n

She then quickly backtracked and said: \u2018I don\u2019t think I was meant to say that though. Oh sorry! Pregnant brain\u2026 Maybe that was a secret.\u2019<\/p>\n

\n\"Special<\/p>\n

Special guest: Mel B appeared on Loose Women today with her four-year-old daughter Angel<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n\"<\/p>\n

X Factor: During her interview on Loose Women, Mel said ‘I think whoever gets that job is going to be over the moon’<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When asked if she was being lined up to replace Cheryl Cole on the hit ITV talent show, Mel responded: \u2018Maybe so.<\/p>\n

\u2018Anyway\u2026 I\u2019m in so much trouble, why did I do this interview? I don\u2019t talk about anything unless it\u2019s ready to go.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

When asked if she would sit next to Louis Walsh or Dannii Minogue, she decided to change the subject and talk about the weather.<\/p>\n

Her
\ninterview came after it was revealed Cheryl Cole will quit the UK X
\nFactor and join the judging panel on the U.S version with Simon Cowell.<\/p>\n

Speaking
\nfrom London via video link of Fox breakfast show Good Day LA, he was
\nasked by the presenter if Cole would be joining him in one of the hot
\nseats, to which he replied a firm \u2018yes\u2019.<\/p>\n

\n

Replacement? Mel B let slip that she might take over from Cheryl Cole’s spot on the UK X Factor judging panel<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n\"New<\/p>\n

New judge? When asked if she would sit next to Louis Walsh or Dannii Minogue, Mel B quickly changed the subject to talk about the weather\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

However, perhaps realising his faux-pas, the music mogul then seemed to quickly backtrack on his statement, explaining that the panel had not actually been decided yet. He went on to even try to blame a delay in the video link for his incorrect response.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Mel B also appeared on Loose Women today and brought her four-year-old daughter Angel with her.<\/p>\n

She posted on Twitter after filming the slot: \u2018Did you all see angel??? She was adamant about being on tv!!!\u2019<\/p>\n

During her Loose Women interview she said of X Factor plans: ‘Rumours are rumours. I think whoever gets that job is going to be over the moon.’<\/p>\n

She then winked at the camera, before adding: ‘I’m only joking’, but when asked if she’d like to do it, she replied: ‘Who wouldn’t like to do it?’<\/p>\n

\n\"Pregnant<\/p>\n

Pregnant star: Mel B was spotted this week with her four-year-old daughter Angel and husband Stephen Belafonte in Los Angeles before flying back to the UK<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When asked what sort of judge she’d be, she said: ‘I’d just be honest, sometimes I’m not really that tactful I don’t think’<\/p>\n

Mel then spoke about her experience as an X Factor mentor in Australia and said: ‘It was nice. I got to perform a Spice Girl song with the other contestants and I got to tell them what I thought, in a nice way – because you want to encourage them.<\/p>\n

‘I was their support system. It was lovely.’<\/p>\n

Mel and her daughter were snapped earlier in the week with her husband Stephen Belafonte by a pool in Los Angeles, where the pregnant singer showed off her baby bump.<\/p>\n

Angel was seen kissing her mother\u2019s stomach and at one point appeared to be talking to her unborn brother or sister.<\/p>\n
