LITTLE Mix’s Perrie Edwards rose to fame on the ITV show in 2011.
The Little Mix babe won the X Factor with her three bandmates Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall.
But now it looks like Perrie Edwards could be set to choose the 2019 winner as one of the judges.
After Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field announced yesterday they are quitting the ITV show, Perrie is already evens with bookmakers Coral and Ladbrokes.
At Ladbrokes, the 25-year-old’s odds have tumbled from 6/1 to just 10/11 over the last 24 hours.

Elsewhere, Louis Walsh has seen his odds of a dramatic return to the show cut to just 2/1.
Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Perrie’s odds of becoming a judge are shortening by the hour, but the odds point towards two Louis’ being on the panel later this year.”
Perrie is also a favourite with Coral, who believe she will be joining Simon Cowell and Louis Tomlinson to judge this year’s competition.

Alesha Dixon is also in the running after being a judge on Saturday night rival show Strictly Come Dancing.
Former Girls Aloud star Cheryl is 2/1 for the judging stint following her time on The Greatest Dancer’s panel.
Coral’s John Hill said: “It will be all change on the judges’ seats on X Factor this year after Robbie and Ayda left the show and all the early money in our betting has been for Perrie Edwards to take up one of the spots on the panel.

“Louis Walsh and Cheryl Cole have been backed to make returns to the show, as Simon Cowell may look for familiar faces this year as he battles to boost the ratings.”
Louis Tomlinson has not yet confirmed if he will be returning as a judge after he won last year with his act Dalton Harris.
