American pop artist Anastacia is set to appear as a guest judge when auditions for The X Factor come to Glasgow next week.

The singer yesterday (June 7th) posted on her Twitter page that she is preparing to visit Berlin for a show before heading to the Scottish city to sit on the judging panel for the ITV singing competition.

She tweeted that her time in Europe will be "funfunfun".

Anastacia experienced her biggest success in the UK in 2004, when her self-titled album reached number one in the charts and the single Left Outside Alone climbed to number three.

The American will be the latest in a series of female artists who have joined the X Factor judging panel this year, following former Spice Girls Mel B and Geri Halliwell, ex-Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger and Rita Ora, who recently hit the top of the UK singles charts with RIP.

Leona Lewis, who won the competition in 2006, has also taken on the task of assessing the latest hopefuls.

According to Digital Spy, Halliwell, Mel B, Scherzinger and Rita Ora are vying to become this year's fourth full-time judge alongside Gary Barlow, Louis Walsh and Tulisa Contostavlos.
