Report: Cowell axes guest slot on 'X-Factor'

It has been reported the 'guest judge' slot on the 'X-Factor' auditions has been axed by Simon Cowell.

Only Simon, Louis Walsh and Chery Cole will feature following poor showings from Geri Halliwell and Natalie Imbruglia.

Dannii Minogue is temporarily off the team due to her pregnancy.
