Rumours are circulating that Radio One DJ, Chris Moyles has been placed on standby to replace Sharon Osbourne on the X Factor if she does not return.

Sharon threatened to quit the show on saturday night after two of her acts were placed in the bottom two, a source told The News Of The World: “At this point in time Sharon has said she is no longer a judge on The X Factor. We are hoping she will be able to sleep on her decision and calm down.

“Chris Moyles has made it clear he’s on standby if Sharon or Louis Walsh walk out at short notice. Simon Cowell is likely to take him up on that offer.”

I love Chris, and think he could be fun on the X Factor panel. But could he really choose the contestant’s songs or give them advice on how best to carry out their performances? I doubt it! In fact I think if anything he would do a worse job than Sharon did last week!
