Murs turned down X Factor judging role

Olly Murs turned down a judging role on the 'X Factor', because he's "too nice".

The former 'X Factor' runner-up has revealed that there were "discussions" about him replacing Louis Walsh on the judging panel of the ITV reality show, having left after 11 years. However Olly has admitted that he couldn't have done the job well, as he'd be too conscious of hurting the contestants' feelings, knowing "how much it would mean to them".
