Kyle Sandilands is set to return to judging TV talent on Australia’s Got Talent, according to the Daily Telegraph.

The controversial radio man, who has previously been tipped to join the show, will reportedly announce his judging role on his breakfast show tomorrow.

Sandilands was famously dumped by Australian Idol following a controversial radio stunt last year, but later acknowledged he understood the reasons behind the network’s move.

The newspaper says neither Seven nor Sandilands’s agent Andrew Hawkins returned calls on the question of his AGT role, but noted that TV industry sources confirmed it.

Dannii Minogue is also set to return but so far the network is yet to confirm any judges.

Red Symons is tipped to return to Hey Hey It’s Saturday which could still leave a third role open for revamping. Brian McFadden’s name has also been rumoured, while Tom Burlinson may miss out on a judging chair.

Auditions for the show begin around the country this weekend.

Updated: Seven confirms Sandilands.

“I am thrilled to be joining Channel Seven – so Australia, you think you’ve got talent – I am going to be the new judge of that,” Sandilands said today.

“Singers, dancers, comedians – if you have an act worth watching or think you have what it takes to be a star – we want you. I have always been a massive fan of the show and can’t wait to get behind the desk of Australia’s only free-for-all talent show.”

  1. Prime O’ prime, what have you done? Bringing back Kyle was a very bad move. ln the past l watched AGT and loved it but now that you have that so and so Kyle on it l wont be watching and my family and friends have all switched channels too!

  2. Australia’s got talent? Maybe he can make the transition to hosting Today Tonight, he has the mentality for it. God, I am sick of so many of these competition reality shows. The only one which is reasonably ok to watch is so you think you can dance, but they still ruin that by making it about the stories and drama of the dancers, and having judges who make stupid, pointless, insipid comments.

    Why not put funding into some Australian drama or comedy series? Or is that too difficult for commercial channels? Yeah, let’s just be like America, and have mostly American shows on tv, or Australian attempts at American shows. Great.
