Brian McFadden has revealed he wants to take Dermot O’Leary’s job on The X Factor.
The former Westlife star had previously been tipped to take Louis Walsh’s seat on the ITV show’s panel.
But the 34-year-old now revealed he’s interested in being the front man on Simon Cowell’s programme.
“Being a judge isn’t something I’m looking at right now. What I’d rather have is Dermot O’Leary’s job hosting. I want to be hands on and not sitting there talking,” he said.

“That’s the challenge for me now. What I loved in music for so long was that nervous tension in your stomach as you go on stage, but I’ve been doing it for so long and feel so comfortable on stage that I don’t get that nervous energy any more.
“But I’m getting it again doing television when I walk on stage in front of a live audience and have to read an autocue and interview people. I get that tingle in my stomach again.”
