The 26-year-old singer - who is best-known as a member of One Direction - has recently taken up a judging role on the UK version of 'The X Factor', and Louis has admitted his new role suits his personality.

He confessed: "I've said a few times, watching from home, I'm judgemental, to be fair."

However, Louis confessed that his attitude is a little hypocritical as he was totally unprepared for his own audition on the show prior to joining One Direction.

Louis is currently preparing to release his debut solo album and despite his excitement about 'The X Factor', he was determined the show wouldn't distract him from his music.

The British star told BBC Radio 2: "My thing was at first, I was super excited to get offered a job. It is something I've kind of been angling for since I've come off the show, to be honest.

"But the thing to me was, it was important that there wasn't going to be a compromise on my music. I think what I'm realising from doing both at the same time is it is a lot of work, and it is a lot of hours but it can be done."

Despite his international fame, Louis still felt anxious about taking up his new role on the popular TV show.

He said: "I suppose like any job, I was nervous the first couple of days. I was a little bit overwhelmed on day one, first day of auditions, because it was kind of like jumping back into the deep end.

"But once I felt like I'd found my rhythm and I knew the format of how everything worked, honestly, I've absolutely loved it."
