Coronation Street's Kym Marsh has told how she fancies joining the X Factor judging panel in the future.
The actress, who plays Michelle Connor in the soap, added, however, that she wouldn't want to sit next to "gorgeous" Cheryl Cole.
According to Now magazine, Kym said: "In the future, I'd like to be the new judge on The X Factor."
She continued: "Mind you, I don't think I'd want to sit down next to Cheryl Cole every day - it would make me cry! I would be getting more surgery then and I'd want to look 22.
"She's so gorgeous, I actually think she's the most beautiful woman in the world."
Cheryl first came into the public eye by winning Popstars: The Rivals with her Girls Aloud bandmates, while Kym first found fame on the 2001 series of Popstars, when she won a place in Hear'Say.
Earlier this week, bookmakers Paddy Power were offering odds of 3/1 that Kym would become the new face of Iceland, after Kerry Katona was dropped amid cocaine allegations.
Darren Haines, spokesman for bookmakers Paddy Power, said: "Kym Marsh is the first name to see proper money in our Iceland betting. What we don't know at this stage is whether there is anything behind this gamble or if it's just Hear'Say."
