"It depends what the money was like," he explained. "Seriously, if they want to pay me £1 million to sit there and slag everyone off then I'd do it."
"The thing is, they have gotten a bit suspect now," he added. "It's like, 'Hang on a minute - these people haven't even just turned up to auditions!' So you sort of stop believing them."

Nicole Scherzinger was revealed to have signed up as the fourth X Factor UK judge yesterday (June 15), completing the lineup for the show's ninth series.
The Kaiser Chiefs recently released a greatest hits compilation, but told NME that they plan to start recording a new album this autumn, after the UK festival season finishes.

Nick Hodgson would be a perfect judge, would be nice to see judges of different genres instead of generic pop crap like Nicole Scherzinger, Tulisa and Gary Barlow.

I kne stupid bitchy comments like that would come. They have more talent in their little finger than Cole or Scherzinger. "It depends what the money was like," he explained. "Seriously, if they want to pay me £1 million to sit there and slag everyone off then I'd do it." < read before you judge. I'd never be considered either but that doesn't mean anyone can't have an opinion.
