Church 'should be an X Factor judge'

Charlotte Church has suggested that she should be on the X Factor judging panel.

The 23-year-old explained that she would have made a good replacement when Sharon Osbourne left the show in 2007.

Cheryl Cole was eventually chosen for the role.

Church told New magazine that she would have "jumped at the chance" to replace Osbourne.

"It's a great format and I'm well sorted to judge who can sing," she explained. "I still can't believe the panel. They have no-one with a trained voice.

"I'm surprised they have not called me."
