Brian McFadden has confirmed that he will be apparing as a judge on the upcoming series of Australia’s Got Talent.

The former Westlife singer will sit on the panel alongside fellow newcomer Kyle Sandilands and Dannii Minogue.

McFadden told the Herald Sun: “I think the one thing the show won’t have is, there won’t be any bitchiness between the judges.

“We all like each other, but there will be no being soft on the contestants. Dannii might have to take a mothering approach to some of them. Me and Kyle, if we see something stupid we will just laugh. We are hoping Dannii can hold it together for us.”
