Hmmm... I would much prefer Robbie Williams to take on this role.
According to reports Take That memeber Gary Barlow is set to take over from Simon Cowell on the X Factor. Apparently the singer-songwriter is "favourite" for the top judging role since 51-year-old Simon announced he would be ditching the show to launch the new US version.
An insider said Barlow is a shoe in:
"Gary is our favourite for the job. We are in discussions and we should have something to announce in the next couple of weeks."
Gary has appeared on the hit talent show as a mentor on a few occasions previously appeared as a mentor on the show, and apparently Simon was impressed:
"What Gary and Simon both have is an innate understanding of the music industry and what you need to succeed - that determination. Gary would be a great judge."I really think Robbie would be better, who's with me?
