Talk of X Factor role for Kylie

Producers of Britain's X Factor are planning talks with Kylie Minogue, hoping to convince the Aussie singer to join the show's judging panel, reports the Sunday Express.

The move would see Minogue, 44, follow in the footsteps of her younger sister Dannii, 41, who left the popular talent program in 2010 citing Australian TV commitments.

X Factor bosses would hope big name Kylie would bring a much-needed boost to the show's ratings.

During an interview this week Minogue's boyfriend, Spanish model Andres Velencoso, admitted the couple are big fans of X Factor.

Asked about such a role, Melbourne-born Minogue has said in the past: 'I've been there and never had anyone to hold my hand, so it would be quite nice to do that for someone else.'
