Lott wants permanent 'X-Factor' role

Pixie Lott wants to be an 'X Factor' judge permanently.

Pixie Lott wants to be an 'X Factor' judge permanently.

The 'Boy and Girls' singer temporarily replaced Dannii Minogue on the judging panel during the audition stages of the show, and admits she had such a good time she would happily do it again.

She said: "I'm used to being auditioned rather than auditioning people, so I had a lot of sympathy.

"I think it's important you say what you think, otherwise there's no point being on the panel.

"You've got to add a little something. It was good fun and I'd love to do it again."

Whilst working on the panel, Lott worked with fellow judges Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Cheryl Cole - before she fell ill with malaria.

Pixie explained to The Sun newspaper: "I was there the day before she collapsed. She was so lovely. She's beautiful, and up close she's just so pretty.

"It was so nice spending time with the judges and getting to know them a bit."

The 19-year-old pop star was criticised by Walsh during the auditions in Birmingham, where he told her off for saying 'no' to a particular act.

But she is adamant she made the right decision.

She said: "I was just honest and said what I thought."
