Music mogul Simon Cowell and ITV bosses are said to have been in talks with a range of stars in a slap-dash bid to replace the Bootylicious star.

Katy Perry, who appeared as a guest judge in 2010, is likely to play a role in the new series although work commitments mean it's unlikely the star will take a seat on the judging panel.
