He is expected to replace Louis Walsh, who confirmed he was leaving the series this week.
X Factor boss Simon Cowell has reportedly been trying to hire the singer for the last ten years.

“Robbie has always been Simon’s dream signing,” an insider told the publication.
“Now it appears he’s finally going to get his man. Over the past 12 months they’ve become close, as have their wives who are also pals.
“There’s a deal on the table and Robbie is keen to do it. The hope is that the deal is days away from being signed and announced.”
