Zayn Malik has been lined up to judge the next season of the hit-series 'X Factor,' as the Telly bosses have plans to sign up one of the One Direction boys.
It is being rumored that the singer's ex-band-mate Louis Tomlinson was also considered for the same, but the 22-year-old singer's empty diary made him the front runner for a seat on the judging panel, reported the Daily Star.
A source claimed that the former 1D member has been told that he'd make a great judge and it's him rather than Louis who fans really want, but his spokesman denied this claim.
