Canadian-born star Justin, 16, and Miley, 17, are both in the running for judging slots on the US version of the show alongside Simon Cowell and Cheryl.

“I know the US X Factor is coming next year, but everybody over here wants a job on the UK show,” the Daily Star quoted Justin as saying.

Miley loves the show and we were talking about how cool it would be to work in London,” he added.
