Britney Spears will make her broadcast debut Wednesday night as one of two new judges on The X Factor.

Joining Spears is fellow newcomer Demi Lovato; the two join music producer L.A. Reid and program producer Simon Cowell for the series.

Britney and Simon appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres show Tuesday to get in some last-minute promotion for the program.

The pair spoke about how Britney was invited to be on the show; Simon had three phone calls with the pop superstar to fill her in on the program before she finally accepted.

“I couldn’t resist,” said Britney.

The X Factor premieres Wednesday night at 8 PM on FOX.
