Simon Cowell admitted that Britney Spears “fascinates” him in an interview about his own search to replace Paula Abdul and Nicole Scherzinger on US X Factor.
Simon said a judging role on US X Factor would be "a walk in the park" for Spears, adding that he would be "fascinated to hear what she had to say".
Rumours that Britney was interested in judging emerged last week as Cowell hunts down two new mentors.
Cowell also agreed that Janet Jackson, who has also been linked to the job, would make a good judge.
