1D's Harry Styles says Nick Grimshaw is 'brilliant' for the 'X Factor' panel

Singer Harry Styles, of One Direction fame, has revealed that Nick Grimshaw is a great addition to the judging panel of 'The X Factor' and he has every faith that the popular radio presenter will do well in the role. 

Speaking to Britain's The Sun newspaper, the 'Story Of My Life' heartthrob admitted that he thinks Grimshaw will do a fantastic job as a panelist because he's very experienced and knows a lot about the commercial side of the industry:

"I think it's brilliant that Grimmy's been chosen for 'X Factor'. He's going to be really good at it. What does he bring that isn't already on the panel? He watches it a lot, he knows a lot - you don't necessarily get his total knowledge solely from the radio show but he knows so much about music. He's young and he's cool. He's going to be really good for it."

When asked if he would consider joining Grimshaw as a mentor at the judges' houses stage of the contest, Styles added: "Well we did that a few years ago and got through so I don't know if we'd chance it again."
