X-Factor winner Sam Bailey admits she has been approached for 'All-Star' show

X-Factor winner Sam Bailey has revealed that she was contacted to be on the upcoming 'X-Factor All-Stars' series, but hasn't accepted the offer yet.

The 2013 champion also claims that fan favourite Wagner was also offered the gig, as producers are looking to bring back former contestants for the show's new format.

She told Irish Mirror: "Of course I was approached... I know that Wagner's been asked too - I saw him a few weeks ago and he told me, so they're obviously looking to all corners.'

Bailey, 42, has yet to give producers a definitive answer, but if she does compete she says she would be looking to have fun as opposed to being competitive.

"I don't know if I'm going to do it because I've already won the show," she added. "I I were to go back it wouldn't be to win I'd just want to see the old gang again and have a good laugh.

"But I'm still humming and hawing over whether or not I'll do it.

"I think the show needs a bit of a break, do something like this and come back. The celeb version is going to be cracking, I can't wait for it."
