Ozzy to take Cheryl's 'X Factor' spot

Ozzy Osbourne is set to replace Cheryl Cole on 'The X Factor' judging panel.

The 62-year-old rocker – whose wife Sharon appeared as a judge on the ITV1 show for four series – is reportedly being drafted in as "controversial choice" to replace the Geordie beauty, who is said to be certain to get a coveted role on the US version of the talent contest.
