Alexandra Burke would judge X Factor if asked

Alexandra Burke has revealed that she would be interested in judging The X Factor if she were asked.

The singer said that while she is currently focusing on her music career, she would definitely talk to Simon Cowell if he wanted her on the panel.

Burke appeared as a guest judge on last year’s series while covering for Kelly Rowland.

“I’m concentrating on my music at the moment,” she told Lorraine Kelly, “If given the opportunity I’m sure I would have a conversation with Simon about it.

“I know how [the finalists were] feeling. It was an honour to be asked to do it. Really scary but I was grateful for the opportunity.”

Talking about her upcoming second studio LP Heartbreak On Hold, he added: “I’ve taken a year and a half out to do this album.

“I really unzipped my heart for this album. It feels comforting to say the least. It was a challenge because I’ve got a massive fear of being open.

“I want it to uplift people, and make people smile. I can’t wait for people to hear it.”

Geri Halliwell is currently the frontrunner to replace Kelly Rowland on this year’s X Factor.

Heartbreak On Hold will be released on June 4
