'X Factor': Noel Gallagher 'Offered Judging Role'

Noel Gallagher has been linked to a judging spot on 'The X Factor', according to new reports.

Show bosses are said to have approached the former Oasis singer with a 'name your price' offer to join the panel for the tenth series later this year.

According to The Sun, Simon Cowell wants Noel for the show as he sees him as a 'natural replacement as the real alpha male on the panel'.

It is the second time producers have offered the star the gig, as he revealed he was approached back in 2011, after Simon left to launch 'X Factor USA'.

It is thought he could replace Gary Barlow, after the Take That star threatened to quit the show unless its quality was improved.

A source told The Sunday People: "Gary has made it clear that he will not be on the show unless the problems from last year are corrected and something fabulous is offered for the viewers."

However, The Sun suggests that Gary could be sitting alongside Noel on the panel as bosses are still 'undecided' on Louis Walsh.

It is expected that former judge Sharon Osbourne is to make a comeback, along with last year's winning mentor Nicole Scherzinger, who recently demanded her fee was doubled if she was to return for another series.
