The 35 year old three times Brit winner has become the final addition to this year’s talent show, by joining Kyle Minouge as this new judges on the upcoming series.

Wilson and Minouge will be replacing Jesse J and The Script frontman Danny O’Donoghue, who left earlier this year. The Kaiser Chiefs have been around for nearly 15 years now and have been chart toppers for many of them, so Ricky has plenty of experience and knowledge in what it takes to be a great frontman and performer, being well known for his energetic live shows.

The Kaiser Chief tweeted Kylie Minouge saying “I’m sat with my bags on the doorstep. What time you picking me up?”  He also added “Who doesn’t want to spend their Saturday night with Kylie Minogue?”, and  “I spent last winter yelling at The Voice, and both Sir Tom Jones and will.i.am were total superstars”.

Ricky appears excited about the chance to be a talent show judge but Kaiser Chief fans don’t have to worry as the lad from Leeds isn’t going anywhere, “I’m just lucky the Kaiser Chiefs have rubber stamped my temporary loan!”.

Catch Ricky when the talent show returns next year.
