New Judge Sought For 'X Factor'
The search is on for the next 'X Factor' judge as Sharon Osbourne has announced that she will be leaving the show.
Sharon, who is married to rocker Ozzy Osbourne, told Radio 1's Chris Moyles that she had heard that Cheryl Cole and Mel B had been approached by the show's producers.
The 55-year-old has given her backing to Girls Aloud beauty Cheryl.
Sharon said that she "loved" X Factor and that they were "the best four years" of her life.
A statement released by Sharon's spokesman said: "Sharon would like to thank the wonderful British public for their enormous support".
Sharon denied that she left the show because she was not being offered enough money, instead saying that she felt it was simply time to move on.
Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue will continue as judges on the show with Simon Cowell.
An official announcement is due to be released later this week.
Sharon has signed to appear in VH1 series Rock of Love Girls: Charm School.
