Simon Cowell has hinted that Black Eyed Peas star Fergie is in the running to join the judging panel for the US version of 'The X Factor'.
During a press conference for the show, Cowell said, when asked about rumours linking Fergie to the show: "All I can tell you is that her name was put forward but, like with a lot of people we have spoken to, we have to check out everyone's availability."
"There is a lot of time you have to put into this show, because it's not a two day a week job when you are in the live shows."
"You are mentoring the contestants and working five or six days a week. I can confirm that her name has been put forward."
