Alesha Dixon is in secret talks about being a judge on 'The XFactor'.
The 'Britain's Got Talent' star is said to be seen as a good choice to switch and join Louis Walsh, Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell on the panel of the singing contest if she "got the nod" from the boss.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday newspaper, an insider said: "Alesha has been seriously considered as the fourth judge. She's part of the Syco family and Simon is a huge fan.
"She would probably be up for doing it if she got the nod from Simon ... Cheryl and Alesha have always got on well so there are no problems there."
However, it seems show bosses aren't completely sold on the idea because they don't want to split up the 'Britain's Got Talent' panel - completed by Simon, David Walliams and Amanda Holden - because they are seen as a solid quartet.
The source added: "It's a very settled line-up with her, Simon, Amanda Holden and David Walliams, and there's a reluctance to needlessly break that up."

Kristen Bell wants to be a "hands-on" mother.
The 'Frozen' star gave birth to daughter Lincoln in March 2013 - her first with husband Dax Shepard - and she is determined to take advantage of her time at home with her baby girl.
She told USMagazine.com: "I'm back with baby full-time, which is so nice.
"I want to be very hands on. I want to cook for my family and feel present for them. I'm always missing her when I'm not there."
The proud mother also admitted she would love the chance to work professionally with Dax again after they most recently shared the screen in 2012's 'Hit and Run'.
She added: "He's been hired to write so many other projects for other people.
"I'm always walking into the room and saying, 'Well hey, if there's a part in there that you could throw the old bags' way that'd be great.'
"I would of course work with him again in a second. He's able to work with his friends and me in a very collaborative way."
The couple tied the knot in October, seven months after the birth of their daughter.

Simon Cowell already wants another child, according to Kian Egan.
The new father - whose partner Lauren Silverman gave birth to his first son Eric in February - apparently told the Westlife singer he was keen to add to his growing family.
Kian told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: "Simon seemed pretty excited and he told me he wanted to have another child fast. I told him to give him misses time to recover first.
"The thing about Simon is, it's all come as a surprise. Even when he got his dogs he didn't realise how much he would love them.
"I told him to wait until he has a baby and wait until that baby starts having its own personality then he's in a different place all together."
The singer also claimed the 'X Factor' boss will "stop working as much" once life as a parent sinks in.
He explained: "I think we will see a much softer side to Simon over the next few years. I think he will stop working as much and pull back."
Meanwhile, Simon has admitted his priorities have changed, with his baby boy giving him a fresh outlook on life.
He recently said: "I really, really am [happy]. I seem to come out of what I call a coma, which was just so work-focused.
"I can appreciated it now and enjoy it and have another side to my life, which I've never had before ... I think you can get very competitive.
"Everything in this business is about ratings and success. But it can take over you life a bit. It's still important to me, but it's not like it used to be. I suppose having a baby gives everything a purpose."

Shakira has a "beautiful relationship" with Gerard Pique.
The 'Can't Remember to Forget You' hitmaker - who has a 14-month-old son, Milan, with the soccer star - has insisted her recent comments describing him as "territorial" were "humorous".
She wrote on Facebook: "I recently said in some interviews that my man could be territorial. For the record, I was being humorous and now I see that some press took it very literally!
"The reality is that we have a beautiful relationship of mutual trust, and jealousy has never been an issue on either side.
"Next time I promise, I'll be more careful when attempting to use my sense of humour, as clearly it can be easily misinterpreted!"
The singer had discussed her recent racy video with Rihanna, and joked her partner would only let her get close to other women.
She had said: "He's very territorial, and since he no longer lets me do videos with men, well, I have to do them with women.
"It's more than implied in our relationship that I can't do videos like I used to. It's out of the question - which I like, by the way.
"I like that he protects his turf and he values me, in a way that the only person he would ever let graze my thigh would be Rihanna."

Backstreet Boys never thought they would sell out the O2 Arena in the London.
The superstar boyband put on an energetic show at the huge venue on Friday (04.04.14) as part if their worldwide 'In a World Like This' tour.
Addressing the fans, Kevin Richardson said: "Two years ago [A. J. McLean] mentioned he would rejoin the band and two years later I can't believe we have ... sold out the O2.
"Thank you, you're amazing. It feels good to be back on stage with my brothers tonight."
The group are on the road celebrating their 20th anniversary, and are happy to be back with their original line-up - completed by Howie Dorough, Nick Carter and Brian Littrell - with Kevin returning to the band two years ago following his departure in 2006.
The 'As Long As You Love Me' hitmakers didn't disappoint, putting on a great show with a hit-filled set including the likes of 'I'll Never Break Your Heart' and 'All I Have To Give'.
The concert also had its share of emotional moments, with the group paying tribute to their families and friends.
As well as Nick kissing a fan during new song 'Permanent Stain', Kevin and A.J. dedicated 'Show 'Em (What You're Made Of)' to their sons.
In another tender moment, the boy band held a moment's silence for their bodyguard Johnny Q, who tragically passed away last year.

Jermain Jackman won 'The Voice' last night (05.04.14).
The singer - who wants to become the UK's first black prime minister - was overwhelmed at his victory in the live final and dedicated his win to anyone who has "had a dream and worked" to achieve it.
He said: "This is not just an achievement for me, it's an achievement for everybody around the world who's had a dream and worked for that dream."
Jermain - who beat Sally Barker and Christina Marie in the final - also offered kind words to his influential mentor will.i.am praising the impact he's had on him over the course of the show.
He added: "I want to thank Will for everything he's done in the past few months - he's been the best coach ever."
The Black Eyed Peas superstar took the time to offer heartfelt advice to Jermain - who wants to use his music career to help his community through politics - and insisted his "victory" meant much more than a win on a TV talent show.
He explained: "I hope you know this victory is about more than just your singing - this is direction and guidance for the rest of your life."
Before being crowned champion, the 19-year-old singer gave renditions of Miley Cyrus' hit 'Wrecking Ball' and 'I'm Telling You' by Jennifer Hudson, while also performing a duet with will.i.am on a cover of 'Pure Imagination' from 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory'.

Matt Smith wanted a "more brutal" 'Doctor Who' exit.
The actor - who played the eleventh Time Lord until his departure in the Christmas special in December - has revealed that many alternate versions were filmed for his final scenes and he wished they'd used a different "cut".
Speaking at the WonderCon Q&A, he said: "It's very interesting the Christmas episode and particularly the regeneration.
"We shot so many different versions of that - we shot much more brutal, emotional and troubling takes and stories in there. The actual take that is used is an interesting one for me.
"But to be honest, although it's still a great 'Doctor Who' episode, I think perhaps of what we shot and what was cut I would have chosen differently."
Although Matt has been replaced by Peter Capaldi - who will play the Doctor in the next series - he will reportedly appear in a cameo role in an upcoming episode.
A source previously claimed: "Doctor Who's sidekick Clara is struggling to accept that Capaldi is still her Doctor when she receives a phone call from Matt, which he made prior to his regeneration.
"It sounds confusing but he is ringing the future from the past and wants to assure Clara this new man is still Doctor Who."

Courtney Love "chants and prays" for Kurt Cobain to mark the day he died.
The Hole singer, who was married to the tragic Nirvana star from 1992 until he committed suicide in 1994, insists 20 years on she still thinks about his death "every single day".
She said: "Kurt's death was just the biggest low, man. I have my own private stuff that I do [to mark it] that I don't really wanna share with the world. It's just my thing. It still makes me sad that it happened, every single day.
"On the anniversary day itself, you sort of battle through it. I do my chanting and praying."
Courtney was unsure whether she is playing on the anniversary of his death yesterday (05.04.14) but says she doesn't want to.
She explained to NME magazine in an interview conducted before the memorial: "I don't like the message it sends out. I'd rather celebrate his birthday than celebrate his death day, but people tend to celebrate the death day, don't they? Even with Elvis and Lennon, that's just the tradition of how it happens in rock 'n' roll, I guess."

Mr. T was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame last night (05.04.14).
The former 'A-Team' star - who became involved in wrestling in 1985 when he was Hulk Hogan's tag-team partner at the first ever WrestleMania event - was honoured alongside wrestling greats at the ceremony in New Orleans.
He was inducted by iconic WWE announcer Mean Gene Okerlund and used his acceptance speech to pay a heartfelt tribute to his mother.
Taking to the stage at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Mr. T described is as an "honour" not only to be entered into the Hall of Fame, but to praise his mum for all she did for him.
He said: "Tonight, as you honour me along with the other Hall of Famers, please allow me to honour and pay tribute to my dear mother, who I love so very much."
He added: "Now, my story and background is not that unique. My upbringing is not so different from many others. But who knows?
"Somebody might be inspired and maybe so wayward teenager just might find his way back home.
"That's why I want to talk about my mother. I thank god for my mother - because I have seven brothers and four sisters, and my mother raised all of us by herself."
The other inductees were Paul Bearer, Razor Ramon, Lita, Ultimate Warrior, Carlos Colón and Jake 'The Snake' Roberts.

Naomi Campbell is dating Michael Fassbender.
The supermodel is said to be enjoying a fling with the '12 Years a Slave' actor, and they have become more open about their blossoming romance after being spotted at Coya restaurant in London earlier this week.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "They were in a cordoned-off area within the members' area of the restaurant to give them as much privacy as possible.
"But they didn't mind being seen together and were openly affectionate. At one point, they even started snogging."
It is said Naomi is "smitten" with the star, telling friends at the V&A Museum - where she was attending the launch of a fashion exhibition - that she was excited for their date.
The insider added: "Naomi is smitten with Michael. She told friends at the V&A she was looking forward to going on a date later in the evening. Everyone was intrigued to find out who with."
However, a friend of the beauty has insisted the future of their romance isn't clear, and no one knows if it will become "something more serious".
They said: "Naomi always has rich and famous men courting her, so we've no idea if these dates with Michael will develop into something more serious."

James Arthur has reportedly been sacked by Syco Records after he rapped about terrorism.
The controversial singer - who won 'The X Factor' UK in 2012 - is said to have been dropped by Simon Cowell's label following a foul-mouthed track, and insiders claimed he is "his own worst enemy" after a number of scandals and online rants.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "It seems James is self-destructing. He has done himself no favours with his outbursts. It's as if he's almost willing Syco to drop him.
"Simon and Syco have been extremely loyal to James throughout his problems but there's only so much they are prepared to put up with.
"It feels like the end of the road for him at Syco. James has been his own worst enemy."
In the new track entitled 'Follow the Leader', he rapped: "Look at what you do to me, I'm crying over stupid s**t, you're such a f**king homophobe, wish I'd never let you in, to think that I was thinking maybe I should let you live, I'm gonna blow up your family like I'm a terrorist."
The 'Impossible' hitmaker has responded to the criticism aimed at the track - which features on his new mixtape 'All The World's A Stage' - and insisted it is written from the point of view of a "demented fan", in a similar vein to Eminem's hit 'Stan'.
He wrote on Twitter: "The song "follow the leader" from the mixtape is not promoting terrorism, it's a story, a reciting of a Stan Esc letter from a demented fan. (sic)"

Debbie Harry has revealed she is bisexual and thinks "women are more sensual".
The iconic rocker has been the subject of longstanding speculation regarding her sexuality and rumoured flings with females, and she has opened up about her past.
Asked whether the reports regarding her affairs with women were true, she said: "Yeah ... Let's say women are more sensual ... I don't know if I have any specific requirements.
"Just somebody nice, who has a good sense of humour and loves to have sex. What more could you ask for?"
The Blondie singer also discussed the criticisms aimed at modern pop stars like Miley Cyrus for being too risque, and insisted they should be allowed to do "what they think is going to work".
During an interview in Germany, she added: "I was criticised for being too overtly sexual, which was very innocent compared to what is going on now,' she said.
'I think they're entitled to do what they feel or what they think is going to work for them. And I think they look good. It seems part of the standard for today really."
