Eurovision winner Netta joins Simon Cowell on the judging panel for the new season of The X Factor Israel.

Eurovision 2018 winner Netta has joined the judging panel of The X Factor Israel.

Late last year it was announced that local broadcaster Channel 13 is reviving the show in 2021, with creator Simon Cowell joining the judging panel for the first time.

Now Netta, who won Eurovision for Israel with 'Toy', has been announced as the second judge.

"I'm very lucky to be sitting next to Simon and not in front of him, because otherwise I would shit my pants," she said in a statement.

"I'm excited to be part of X Factor Israel and show the Israeli talents to the world."

The series is now said to have entered full production and will air later this year.
