Lady Gaga is reportedly planning to return to the X Factor as a guest judge.

The Super Star – real name Stefani Germanotta  – appeared on the talent show last year, when she took to the stage and gave an amazing performance of her hit song ‘Bad Romance’.

This year Simon Cowell has reportedly asked her to return as a stand in guest judge when Dannii Minogue is on maternity leave.

The People report that Gaga will be paid around £110,000 and a source confirmed: “It’s now a case of dotting the Is and crossing the Ts”.

Open auditions for the new series of The X Factor are currently underway and the first auditions in front of the judges start in June.
