On Thursday, Loraine announced she was leaving the role of head judge on the RTE One show.

Now, speculation is rife as to who will replace Loraine in January, when the show is expected to return, and Twomey is being backed to replace the outgoing judge.

The Corkman has been thrust into the limelight of late, after taking up a part-time presenting post on Ireland AM.
