"Noel Gallagher has reportedly turned down a \u00A31 million offer to join The X Factor. The former Oasis star was previously tipped for a role on the upcoming USA version of the show, with reports claiming that Simon Cowell was a fan of Gallagher&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;no-nonsense attitude&amp;quot;.  The Sun reports that the music mogul told the 43-year-old to &amp;quot;name his price&amp;quot; to take up a position on the ITV1 show&amp;#039;s judging panel. However, despite apparently being offered a &amp;quot;head-spinning amount of cash&amp;quot;, Gallagher said that he wanted to focus on his music career. &amp;quot;Noel could name his price,&amp;quot; a source told the paper. &amp;quot;Simon promised global fame and a crack at the US panel in future years. He was setting it up for him to make the show his own and fill his boots.&amp;quot; Cowell&amp;#039;s position on the panel remains unconfirmed, but the latest reports have claimed that he will return. Louis Walsh has confirmed that he has yet to see a contract but has been told to keep his diary clear, while Dannii Minogue is said to be flying in to the UK and will meet with ITV bosses.  &amp;gt; Click here for our full X Factor coverage "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
