X Factor fans called for Alesha Dixon to be made a permanent judge as she filled in for Nicole Scherzinger during auditions.
The Britain’s Got Talent star took Scherzinger’s seat as hopefuls faced Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh.
One fan wrote: “Alesha should be a judge permanently!” while another said: “I just switched xfactor on and I can already tell that Alesha is better than Nicole on this show. Please keep her.”
