(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Natalie Imbruglia is like a smiling assassin when she judges reality TV shows.

The singer is currently a member on the judging panel of the Australian version of The X Factor. The series kicks off this weekend and Natalie cant wait for fans to see the show.

She is convinced the group of performers she is mentoring are the most talented in the whole programme, but refuses to talk about any of them in detail because she doesnt want to reveal their secrets.

She says she has a strategy to ensure one of her acts wins, and it involves looking pretty, smiling, and not saying much to the media.

Im a smiling assassin, Natalie told Australian radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O. Im not talking about it at all. You can watch it on TV. All Ill say is Ive got the best group, and Ill leave it at that.

The judging panel is made up of Natalie, radio DJ Kyle Sandilands, Boyzone star Ronan Keating and former Australian Idol winner Guy Sebastian. The audition stages of the show are now complete and the judges recently returned from the boot camp segment, which saw them take their finalists to exotic locations to spend some one-on-one time with them.

Natalie took her group to the Bahamas, and enjoyed it immensely.

I loved it. Its beautiful there, she said. Im loving the whole show really. (C) Cover Media
