Gary Barlow has admitted that he's enjoyed his role as a judge on this year's X Factor so much that he would do it all again "in a heartbeat". 

The Take That superstar, whose honest and straight-talking approach throughout the current season has been likened to that of music mogul Simon Cowell, explained to OK! magazine that the experience has been so enriching he would say yes if offered the opportunity again:

"I'd do it in a heartbeat, I would do it all again. I have loved every bit of it. I would miss it if I didn't do it any more."

"I honestly don't care about the entertainment aspect - that's Louis Walsh's job. I never consider that at all. I just care about getting my acts on stage with a good song so they can showcase their vocals every week."
