Geri Halliwell has been officially announced as one of four judges for the new season of Australia’s Got Talent.
Formerly known as Ginger Spice, Geri will replace Scary Spice Mel B, who was originally slated to make the switch from rival talent show The X-Factor. However, her contract with the Seven Network prevented Mel from making the move to Nine.
Geri admits she sought permission from her former band mate before confirming her seat on the show.
“She [Mel] actually said, ‘I just want you to know I think you should do it cause you’re gonna have a great time and I love Australia’,” Geri told A Current Affair.
The red-headed singer will join Kyle Sandilands, Dawn French and Timomatic on the judging panel for the 2013 season.
“I watch Britain’s Got Talent and I’m a fan,” Geri reveals. “I think shows like that are brilliant and I love the opportunity they give to normal, everyday people.
