Everyone's favourite Irish judge revealed Grimmy will take his seat in the biggest shake up since the series began.
"I've flat out left, I'm not going back to the show, absolutely gone.
"I'm pleased as I get to do my actual job now.
"I think there is a great great chance Grimmy will get my job.
"I don't think he realises the hard work he has to put in though and he better not use any of my catchphrases."
"It's going to be hard work for him,"
"You don't just show up. It's three or four days a week.
"You have to mentor, it's a lot of hard work."
"Simon and Cheryl are on the panel,"the 62-year old quickly says, hinting Mrs Fernandez-Versini has already signed her contract. "Then I would say Grimmy and Mel B."
Nick needs to stick to radio, how will he mentor contestants?
I guess they must want the ratings to go the same way as his Radio 1 breakfast show.
