Charlotte Church has reportedly slammed X Factor and offered herself up as the perfect judge to replace Louis Walsh.

The 21-year-old star, who is expecting a baby with rugby player boyfriend Gavin Henson, said the judges were "clueless" and claimed that she could do a better job.

"I've got enormous respect for Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh, but they just don't know the ins and outs of a voice or music" - Charlotte Church

She added: "I've got enormous respect for Simon Cowell, Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh, but they just don't know the ins and outs of a voice or music.

"When I'm watching the show I think 'You haven't got a clue what you're on about - I should be on there.'

"On the last series, Sharon said about The Unconventionals 'That was so messy, you were all singing in different keys.' Er, yes, they're called harmonies."

The singer also revealed she is eyeing up a new pad in the countryside.

She said: "We're definitely planning on moving to the countryside permanently, somewhere between Cardiff and Swansea. A big house, maybe four bedrooms, with a big bit of land - I've always quite fancied myself as a landowner!

"When I met Gavin he talked about his childhood and how the kids in his village had this beautiful woodland to run round in, and I loved that idea. All I got to do was play in the streets on my bike."

The couple are expecting their first child in September.
