Geri Halliwell will not be returning to the judging panel as long as head judge Gary Barlow has a say in it.

Gary has gone as far to say he would leave the show if Ginger Spice was offered a permanent seat on the panel.
Gary says the crowd 'hated' Geri, that she was 'crackers' and if she comes back to the series then you can count him gone.

The Take That star The Sun: "She's crackers. How you see her on TV is exactly how she is in real life. The crowd really didn't like her. She got booed all day long. She was a bit over-excited."
Gary also said he believes Geri was overdoing things in a bid to impress producers as she is reported to be desperate to become a permanent fixture on the show.

He says: "She'd been told she was auditioning for the role and, bless her, I think she tried a bit too hard. I do love her for being her though, we had fun backstage. She's sweet but mad."
When asked whether Geri would be welcome to come back to the show, Gary said: 'I doubt it. And if she is, I may be going.
Surely that's bit far? We thought Geri was hilaire!
Sorry Gary, but we're sticking up for Girl Power!
