Loose Women is set to have two new faces on the show next week.

Kelly Osbourne and Mel B will both be taking guest panellist spots on the ITV daytime show.

A spokesperson confirmed to Digital Spy that Sharon Osbourne's daughter and the former Spice Girl will be taking on two days each.

Mel B has appeared on Loose Women numerous times, the most recent being with her daughter Phoenix Chi who gave her a 'mummy makeover' and put her in clothes that the singer wasn't all that happy with.

It will be the first time Kelly has ever appeared on the show, though she has had practice on The Talk and The View, American talk shows with a similar format.

Her mum Sharon will also be able to give her plenty of advice on the job as she has previously served as a Loose Women guest panellist herself.

It was recently announced that Sharon would be returning to The X Factor as a judge, though she wouldn't have any acts or be part of the auditions.

Instead, Ozzy Osbourne's wife has been replaced by Louis Tomlinson, Robbie Williams and his wife (and Loose Women star) Ayda Field. She will then join the live shows as an impartial fifth judge.

Ayda has defended her place on the judging panel, telling reporters including Digital Spy: "I think for me, on a professional level, I've auditioned for years... I know what it's like to have the stakes high. To put it all out there.

"I know what it's like to get the job, I also know what it's like to lose the job."

Husband Robbie also defended her role, saying: "Ayda is a member of the public too and they never get it wrong.

"It is fallacy that there's a magic formula to what makes a popstar. If a member of the public was up here now, their opinion would be as valid as hers."

Loose Women continues weekdays from 12.30pm.
