Noel Gallagher has revealed that he has once again been approached to appear as a judge on X Factor, but claims he will 'never be that bored' that he will take up the offer.

The former Oasis member has said that it's a definite no from him, despite being offered a spot on the judging panel from Simon Cowell - as he would be too worried about swearing on live television.

"Yes I was asked to do it again," Gallagher said in an interview with Q magazine. "I think they think that because my tour's finished I'm going to be bored, but I'm never going to be that bored. Sharon Osbourne gets £1.5 million for it, I've heard.

"If she's worth one and a half, what am I worth? Three? Three and three quarters? I've not got anything against the show, I just don't want to be on the telly every Saturday night. F**k that."

Gallagher went on to speak about his concerns involving his language, adding, "You may be aware, I've got a slight case of Tourette's syndrome and I would just end up saying to Louis Walsh, 'Will you shut up, you c**t!'"

The Daily Star reported earlier this month that Noel had turned down the gig, but this is the first time that the man himself has confirmed it.

A source previously told the paper, "Noel thinks it would be bad for his music if joined. His daughter Anais is desperate for him to do it but Noel thinks ‘X Factor’ is corporate pop and killing the spirit of independent labels. Noel’s told pals he doesn’t need the fame or money and his fans wouldn’t be impressed."
