The popera singer, second to MATT TERRY in the last UK series, will appear on the version in her home country of Finland. And she could match SIMON COWELL’s nasty reputation.

In an exclusive interview, she said: “They haven’t had The X Factor in Finland for ten years. But because I was on it and it was such a hit, they decided to bring it back and have me as a judge.

“I’ll be like Simon. I’m going to be quite strict because I’m very ambitious and I will see if the acts have ambition or not.

“If they don’t, I will tell them they need to go. I know this business needs ambition and commitment.”

She sounds scary already.
