Kelly Brook has signed a last minute deal to join the judging panel on Britain’s Got Talent.

The model/TV presenter, who previously judged Living TV’s Dirty Dancing: The Time Of Your Life, is said to have only finalised the deal this week and flew up to Manchester yesterday to start work at the first round of auditions for the talent show.

A source said of the appointment: “No one’s being replaced, they just thought they’d add to the team.

“[Show creator and head judge] Simon Cowell loves the four judge dynamic on The X Factor and thought it would work well here too.

“Kelly’s bubbly and fun so will be a great addition to the panel, especially when it comes to the more novelty acts - we all expect a lot of giggling.”
