The revamp comes after both Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell decided to give the UK variant of the program to establish the US show.

Miss Rowland has enjoyed a tremendously successful pop career in the past, both as percentage of ring and as a solo artist.

She was one third of US group Destiny`s Child. Her two band-mates were Beyonce Knowles - who has gone on to turn one of the world`s biggest female stars - and Michelle Williams.

Television viewers will particularly remember Miss Williams from last year`s Strictly Come Dancing. She was a dissenter on the BBC show which is, somewhat ironically, the major competitor of the X Factor.

It was announced last week that Miss Minogue was going the UK edition of the X Factor. The conclusion was made because of a serial of scheduling conflicts.

These were caused by Miss Minogue`s role as a label on the Australia`s Got Talent and the requirement of appointment the schedule around Take That`s huge European tour, caused by TV executives` decision to hire Barlow.

Last night, ITV declined to comment.
