Eminem has revealed he would like to be a guest judge on The X Factor.

The rapper believes Cheryl Cole, Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh don't have the right experience.

‘No disrespect to the current judges but you need people who are global, platinum-selling stars,' he says.

‘You need to prepare contestants for what it's really like out there, and what sort of pressure you are going to be under.'

Eminem would love to see more rap artists on the ITV programme.

‘A hip-hop star will never win a show like The X Factor without somebody like me on the panel,' he adds.

‘There are a lot of very talented hip-hop stars who would kill for a break in Britain but the judges aren't qualified in hip-hop.'

Eminem did have some kind words to say about Simon Cowell.

‘Simon tells it like it is and I am down with that,' he tells The Sun.

'If somebody ain't good enough they ain't good enough.'
