Does Harry Styles Think Nick Grimshaw Will Be Any Good On The X Factor?

One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles is backing pal Nick Grimshaw for X Factor glory because he’s “young” and “cool”.

Grimmy and Rita Ora have joined Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Simon Cowell on this year’s judging panel, with Hazza - who found fame on the ITV show back in 2010 - rooting for Nick as he gears up to make his debut. 

Speaking to The Sun, the ‘Steal My Girl’ singer said: "I think it's brilliant that Grimmy's been chosen for X Factor. He's going to be really good at it.

"What does he bring that isn't already on the panel? He watches it a lot, he knows a lot - you don't necessarily get his total knowledge solely from the radio show but he knows so much about music.”

Styles concluded: “He's young and he's cool. He's going to be really good for it."

The 21-year old was then asked whether he’d consider joining Nick as a guest mentor at Judges’ Houses, to which Styles replied: “Well we did that a few years ago and got through so I don't know if we'd chance it again..."

While Hazza won’t be joining Grimmy at Judges’ Houses, reports claim the Radio 1 DJ will instead have Jess Glynne’s help, while SiCo will be teaming up with Paloma Faith.

Chezza has allegedly requested that Dannii Minogue give her a hand, with Rita Ora’s guest judge still yet to be confirmed.
