Gary Barlow should be replaced by Ronan Keating on 'The X Factor', says Shane Lynch.

Shane thinks that if Simon Cowell is looking to shake things up on the show, he should pick Ronan as he'll do a great job following his time as a judge on the Australian series since 2010.

Shane exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I hope Ronan gets on 'The X Factor' panel, he'd be up for it without a shadow of a doubt, absolutely, he's very good at it in Australia and if there was a spot we'd love to see Ronan in there. With a bit of luck there wouldn't be a battle between him and Dannii Minogue, who is also a judge on the Australian show, with a couple of the judges said to be leaving."

Dannii is also hosting a live music night 'BZ20', celebrating Boyzone's 20 years in the industry later this year on ITV.

It co-incides with a new album and tour and will include a duet with Spice Girl Mel C.

Shane said: "Twenty years is an incredible milestone for any artist, let a lot a boy band. We've pushed on through to two decades now, and the next twenty years hopefully."
