WHO’S WHO ON THE PANEL

-

Denise Van Outen

JUDGING STYLE: Denise, left, will add glamour to the judging panel. She herself has talent in abundance. She demonstrat­ed her singing abilities when she played Roxy Hart in the West End production of Chicago. Denise, 43, danced her way to runner-up in Strictly Come Dancing. And while she is a mother now, she hasn’t shaken off her ladette image that she cultivated in the Nineties. Jason Byrne

JUDGING STYLE: The comedian, left, will be a ginger version of David Walliams, bringing humour to the judging panel. Byrne, 45, began his standup career at the Edinburgh Fringe festival in 1996. He was up before a real judge last month, charged with driving without a licence. Expect him to be direct and sarcastic.

Michelle Visage

JUDGING STYLE: Michelle, below, will inject va va voom. The US singer, 48, began her career as a member of female group Seduction and after the band split, she became the lead singer for a new group, The Soul System. She appeared on the UK’s Celebrity Big Brother in 2015. She’ll be brash and blunt.
