Cheeky singer Chico Slimani is to join the judges' panel for the live version of talent show X Factor.

The 34-year-old Crawley performer, who coined the phrase: "It's Chico time", will also sing at the stage talent show.

The tour will feature eight of the ITV show's finalists.

It starts in Glasgow on Saturday and will come to the Brighton Centre on March 7.

Chico, who lived in Morocco before moving to Sussex, was watched by ten million people on X Factor.

The former stripper has secured a record deal with Sony and on February 27 will release his first single.
