Keating hoping for 'X Factor' gig

Ronan Keating has revealed that he would love to be on 'The X Factor'.

The Boyzone singer is a judge on the Australian version, but said being on the UK show would mean he could be closer to his three children from his marriage to wife Yvonne, which ended last year.

He told The Sun: “Of course I would do The X Factor UK to be close to the kids.

“I go back (to Oz) in March and I’ll be doing shows in Australia. Then I’m back and we’re in talks about X Factor, so let’s see – in Australia, but not in the UK. I wish!”
