Will Young will perform as a guest star on the latest series of The X Factor.

Young, 29, found fame on reality TV singing contest Pop Idol in 2002, when he beat Gareth Gates to win the title.

The singer's relationship with judges Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh was rumoured to be frosty because of comments they've previously made about his career.

During Pop Idol, Cowell branded Young "distinctly average", while Walsh once described him as "[not] a very clever person".

A source told The Sun: "Will doesn't like Simon and Louis. However, it was this kind of show that gave him his career. He's not about to turn his back on it."

Young is currently promoting his fourth studio album Let It Go.
