In his series, he was assigned the Groups category, which made sense since he is the most famous member from the most successful boyband in chart history. So when Robbie was announced as a new judge of the fifteenth series of the show, he was met with open arms, unlike his inexperienced wife, Ayda Field. He assisted some judges at the Judges' Houses stage (Gary in 2011 and Sharon in 20), acted as a guest mentor to the finalists occasionally and did many guest performances on the results shows - even duetted with Olly Murs and One Direction in their respective finals. In 2016, it was revealed that he decided to leave due to his commitments to his radio work and was replaced again by Louis Walsh.Įven before being assigned as a judge, Robbie was always close to The X Factor. In fairness to him, he was able to guide his final boy, Che all the way to the final, where he placed 3rd, while Simon himself didn't even have act in the quarter-final that year - though that was mainly because Nick had a stronger category. Nick received the biggest criticism he ever did was when he ditched Josh Daniel (who was a fan-favourite since his first audition, which moved Simon and Cheryl to tears) for Mason Noise (who was considered controversial, due to his misbehaviour in the six-chair challenge) - even worse, it was revealed after the show ended, that he predicted Josh to win the series after the six chair challenge, despite not putting him through to the live shows. In his year, he was assigned the Boys category by the public, although like the other judges, he wanted the Girls, since they were the strongest category. Even Louis Walsh and other veteran judge Sharon referred him as 'inexperienced'. Similar to Ayda, Nick being chosen to replaced veteran judge Louis Walsh (who quit after 11 years) received mixed reception from the fandom, who questioned his credentials for being a music judge on a show like The X Factor.
