Olly Murs has confirmed that he will return to this year's
X Factor as a guest judge.
The 29-year-old took to Twitter to announce he will join
Gary Barlow, who is mentoring the groups, in New York
to decide who will make the live shows.
Murs tweeted: "Hey all, so there have been loads of
rumors about it & I can confirm that YES I'll be
@GaryBarlow's Guest Judge on this year's
@TheXFactor."
The Dear Darling singer is no stranger to this stage of
the competition, having visited Simon Cowell's home in Los
Angeles as a contestant, before going on to finish
runner-up to Joe McElderry in 2009.
Murs stood down from his role as co-presenter of the
Xtra Factor earlier this year to focus on his solo career
and was replaced by Matt Richardson.
Elsewhere, Nicole Scherzinger recently announced her
close friend Mary J. Blige would be joining her in Antigua
for the judges' house round.
Fellow judges Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh are yet
to reveal whose help they will be enlisting to make their
biggest decision of the series so far.
