Sinitta hints that Mariah Carey being lined up for US version of The X-Factor

Eighties pop star Sinitta has hinted that Mariah Carey is being lined up for a role on the judging panel on the US version of The X-Factor.

The 41-year-old star is good friends with boss Simon Cowell and said he is still deciding on who will make up the judging panel.

She said to Liv: 'I think he's still working it out. He's still looking at slides of different people's profiles and different personalities, A-list celebrities.

'It's very exciting and I was like: 'Oh my God, yes, they'll be great! Oh my God! Oh my God!' But I kind of wanted everyone.'

She added: 'People who are interested? Oh I'm not allowed to say. It's amazing how many people want to do it. Everybody from Mariah [Carey]... okay I'm not saying any more! Lots of people want to do it.'
