Kyle Sandilands lands new TV deal?
Kyle Sandilands has reportedly been approached to become a judge on Australia's Got Talent.

The radio DJ, who was axed from Australian Idol after he grilled a 14-year-old rape victim about her sex life live on his breakfast show, is believed to be joining the reality TV talent show this year.

A TV insider told The Sunday Telegraph that the Seven Network is "extremely" keen on asking Sandilands to join current judges Dannii Minogue, Red Symons and Tom Burlinson.

They added: "In a year without Idol, Seven's eager to make AGT the destination singing/talent show and secure a stronger following among a younger audience. Regardless of what you think of Kyle, he does just that.

"He's immensely popular and his presence alongside Dannii Minogue, for one, progresses AGT considerably. It could make the show what it is in Britain, where it's one of the most popular shows on the box - it's real destination TV over there."

A Channel 7 spokesperson refused to deny or confirm the rumours.
