Katy Perry has revealed that she turned down the chance to become a judge on the X Factor following Kelly Rowland's departure from the show earlier this year.
The star, who was rumoured to be in the running to join Tulisa Contostavlos, Louis Walsh and Gary Barlow, confirmed during her appearance on the Graham Norton Show that the X Factor bosses had approached her to join the show.
However, the star turned down the offer because she felt uncomfortable about judging people so early on in her career.
Speaking to the host, the 'I Kissed A Girl And I Liked It' admitted:
"There's not actual paper contracts, but people have been interested in me judging other people. I would do it but I'm just not ready for it yet. Maybe in the future, I would love to."
Geri Halliwell, Rita Ora, Leona Lewis, Nicole Scherzinger and Mel B have all been guest judges as the auditions have travelled around the country.
