Michael Jackson has approached X Factor band JLS to support him if he embarks on a UK tour.

The superstar, 50, wants to meet the band's mentor Louis Walsh, 56, in Ireland.

‘Its fantastic news for JLS,’ Louis tells The Mirror. ‘If talks go well then going on tour with Michael would be an amazing opportunity for JLS.’

JLS - JB Gill, Marvin Humes, Ortise Williams and Aston Merrygold – have made it through to the final of The X Factor this weekend.

They will compete with Alexandra Burke, 20, and Eoghan Quigg, 16.

‘Michael can and has changed his mind about touring for the last couple of years,’ a source reveals.

‘But if he follows through this time, JLS could be catapulted into the spotlight all over the world.’
