Westlife singer Nicky Byrne admits he would love to judge the X Factor in the future

Westlife singer Nicky Byrne has admitted that he would love to judge the UK version of the X Factor in the future. The singer claimed that he is thinking about becoming a mentor after Westlife disband next year. He stated that
he tries to learn from show host Dermot and judge Louis Walsh about the show and loves the concept of mentoring singers and preparing them up to the highest level.

Westlife announced last month that they would part ways after the release of their ‘Greatest Hits’ album and the Farewell Tour next year. They said that it has been an awesome journey so far and want a change in their lives now.

Byrne claimed that his keen on becoming a TV presenter of a show like X Factor and learns a lot from watching Dermot. He admitted that he would love to be a judge on the show as one of his former band members Brian McFadden is
hosting ‘Australia’s Got Talent’ currently.

“It’s funny with The X Factor because in the past we’d be looking at the bands and how they perform, but this year I’m looking more at Louis and Dermot to see what they do. I’m keen to do more TV presenting and I can see
myself getting into a Dermot O’Leary kind of role. Presenting a show like that is something I would like to do,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.

The Irish singer added that he has a god relation with Simon Cowell who owns the format and a chance could be there that he is a potential candidate for next season amid rumours that Louis Walsh will leave.

“I’ve a good relationship with Simon, despite everything. I texted him when we left the label and it’s all amicable now. Maybe down the road, me doing
X Factor would be a very interesting conversation to have with him,” he added.

Nick Byrne was a former football player who has a two-year career with Leeds United. He played for the reserve team but left the sport to pursue a career in singing.
