“So I met her and she said, 'Oh my god I've got to be on the Judges' Houses - where are we going!?' Like she wants the job already and I think she's super-talented, she's really funny, it's just whether or not she can fit it in.”

“It's gorgeous. That's where I was born and bred so I was thinking maybe I'd go back there, that or maybe go there or Barbados, they are the two options I'm thinking,” he said.

Meanwhile, Nick has also admitted that his parents may not even bother to watch him on ‘The X Factor’.

“It sounds a horrible thing to say but they are not that bothered. They are not neglectful, they are just not bothered.

“My mum will probably watch ‘X Factor’, but my dad will only if it doesn’t clash with ‘Match of the Day’. He starts panicking what time that is on at, at about three o’clock in the afternoon. I’m like 'you’ve got seven hours, relax!'"

“They are happy but they are not starry or massively into it.”
