Gary Barlow's already talking about returning to The X Factor, despite not having left yet

  • November 14, 2013
  • Brad O'Mance

Gary Barlow newMarks & Spencer underwear depart­ment of pop Gary Barlow has said that he'd be up for returning to The X Factor once he leaves at the end of the year, but only as a guest judge.

"I don’t know [who will be my replace­ment] but I have said to the show that I’d love to come back to judges’ houses or do any of that stuff," he mused to the Metro.

He also addressed rumours that Robbie Williams might be replacing him, and he'd be okay with that to be honest.

"I do abso­lutely [think he’ll be great]. Artists like him have got so much exper­i­ence, he’s had 23 years at the top, [so] the right thing to do at that point is pass a bit of it down to other people."

He makes it all sound so exciting doesn't he.
