Louis Walsh’s place on this year’s series of The X Factor appears to be in jeopardy, that is if recent reports are to be believed.
Rumours are rife that ITV bosses and Simon Cowell are arguing over the inclusion of the 61-year-old who has been on the panel since the very beginning.
An insider told
The Sun newspaper: “We want the panel to be as strong as it can be and if that means getting rid of people who have been on it before, so be it. It’s not just Simon’s show – it’s ITV’s so we have a big say”.
So far, Simon Cowell and Cheryl Cole are the only two judges to be confirmed for this year’s series of the show. Rumours have been swirling in relation to a fourth judge for months.
