'The X Factor is an amazing show. I love Simon because he's so honest. Everything he says I agree with,' said Kelly.
She has been lined up for the programme after Dannii withdrew from the British version of the singing competition - citing her commitments to Australia's Got Talent.
Kelly looks set to be joined on the judging panel by N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos, as well as Take That star Gary Barlow.
A friend said: 'Kelly was always the one with the best sense of humour in Destiny's Child. She'll be a great addition to the show.'

The new trio have been selected after Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell left their jobs as judges to take up the same roles on the new American version of the X Factor.
Cowell is attempting to replicate the success of the UK version in the States and has chosen former T4 presenter Steve Jones as the US programme's new host.
