X Factor star Nick Grimshaw has revealed that he wants Miley Cyrus to join him at judges’ houses.

The brand new judge thinks that the US pop star is ‘amazing’ as she ‘doesn’t care’ what people think of her.

Speaking to the Sunday Times’ Culture magazine, he said: “She is an amazing person. She understands how to work the media completely works.

“Yeah, she does silly things and gets her boobs out but she's not overly sexualised, she doesn't slag people off, and she's had both boyfriends and girlfriends - I like that."

Grimshaw added: “I went to her dressing room after a show, and she was twerking with her friends and showing everyone her arse and sticking it up on Instagram, because that's what 21-year-olds do.

“They don't care. I want her to be in my judge's houses on The X Factor.”

The 31-year-old Radio One DJ, who joins the judging panel for the first time this year, previously claimed that he wanted Jesse Ware to join him at judges’ houses.

Last month he said: “I saw Jessie Ware, who might well be my favourite person in the world, at Glastonbury.

"I met her and she was like, 'Obviously I've gotta be on judges' houses, where are we going?' I'd love Jessie Ware to do it, I really love her."

The new series of The X Factor is set to air on August 29.
