Report: Natalie Bassingthwaighte joining The X Factor

Former So You Think You Can Dance host Natalie Bassingthwaighte will replace Natalie Imbruglia on The X Factor according to one report today.

“I’ve definitely heard Nat Bass’s name mentioned,” Jacobz told News Limited on Tuesday night.

“I know a decision has definitely been made because I walked past our producer this morning and said ‘Do you know who it is?’ And he said ‘Yup’ and smiled and walked away.”

An exit by Imbruglia would follow that of Kyle Sandilands. If it’s true it could potentially impact on a Ronan Keating decision. Guy Sebastian is considered the most likely of the four to return.

Bassingthwaighte has had a strong CV in music theatre prior to her TV acting and presenting.

Seven refused to confirm the talk yesterday.
