Enrique Iglesias has reportedly been given a firm offer to join American Idol.

The Latin pop singer is rumoured to be seriously considering taking up a post as judge on the TV talent show.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Enrique was offered a $4 million contract to take on the role.

Randy Jackson, who has been part of the panel since the judge started in 2002, is no longer with the programme.

Mariah Carey has been confirmed as one of the show's new judges. Many other names have been linked to the panel, with suggestions Nicki Minaj is likely to be unveiled as a new signing in a matter of weeks.

In a further shake-up it's thought there will be four seats on the panel this time around, with the new position likely filled by a country music star.

P. Diddy and Kanye West were previously linked to the show, but have apparently been ruled out. Other stars believed to be in the running include Keith Urban, Nick Jonas and Pharrell Williams.
