Saara revealed, "I believe I will be a good mentor. I find it wonderful to inspire people, to help them live their lives and find their own potential. It's my strength."
She added, "I want my singers to really enjoy being on stage and be really self-confident."
Auditions for the show start in September with the show airing in Spring 2018.
Saara is expected to make an announcement of her debut international single this summer after being spotted working with production teams Xenomania & Biffco.
