Olly Murs reckons Nick Grimshaw would make a good X Factor judge.

The BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show host is rumoured for a position on the show's upcoming 2015 series.

The series will be hosted by Olly Murs and Caroline Flack and the former told reporters at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend that Grimshaw would be a good addition.

He said: "I think he'd be great. I think he's a real great personality, he's really outspoken, he's got a great way about him.

"He's involved in music - the biggest radio station in the country - so it ticks all the boxes for me. I don't think you have to be an artist to judge. People forget that Louis [Walsh] wasn't an artist, Sharon Osbourne wasn't an artist, Simon [Cowell's] not an artist. 

"I think just being involved in music gives something different. I think he'd be brilliant for the show, he's a really good character and I get on really well with Grimmy."
