Shania Twain has urged American Idol producers to consider her as a judge on the revamped talent show, because she's ready to cast her vote.

The country star was a hit as a guest judge on the show back in 2009 and TV bosses have considered her for a regular role on the show ever since - and now she's all set for the TV spotlight amid reports suggesting producers are struggling to find judges to join Katy Perry on the series.

"I would do that," she tells Access Hollywood. "We've talked back and forth and it is something that I think I would enjoy.

"I love the whole experience of being with like-minded people who appreciate amazing, upcoming talent. I think that would be a lot of fun... It would be something that I would like to say yes to."

Shania admits she loved her time on the show, adding, "It was awesome. I love the whole mentorship concept of... sharing what I know and what I've experienced and appreciating the nerves and the tension that this talent is going through.

"It's nice to be on the other side of that as well."

Lionel Richie, Charlie Puth, and Keith Urban, who was a judge on the last season of Idol, before the show jumped to America's ABC network, are all considered frontrunners to join Katy Perry on the revamp.
