Minogue left the UK version of the show in 2011 but told Hello! magazine that she would "love" to return to the show.

She added that any possible return to the show is in the hands of X Factor supremo Simon Cowell. She said:

"I really don't know what's happening - that's up to Simon Cowell. I haven't ruled out coming back to the U.K. for anything and I think all of the show's fans know that I love it. I would love to do it again, but it's all in the hands of Mr Cowell."

The judging line-up for this year's X Factor has yet to be decided, with both Gary Barlow and Tulisa Contostavlos expressing their desire to return to the panel for a second series.
