X Factor’s Louis Walsh “Sacked” By Simon Cowell

A few weeks ago it was suggested that Louis Walsh has had enough of the X Factor and reports today suggest that the show will be missing the Mayo man this year. The Sun reports that Simon Cowell is determined to completely overhaul the show and personally told Louis that his stint on the show was over. A source said: "Simon spoke to Louis and told him that it’s 95 per cent certain that he’ll be ‘stood down’ this year". Cheryl and Simon will return this year but who will join them?! "Viewers had become sick of Louis’s constant use of tired clichés and the same old jokes. "He’d been doing it for 11 years and it seemed like he was just going through the motions". Louis recently appeared on The Seven 'O Clock Show with Hometown, the band he manages, and said he was "done" with the show and eager to get back to working with new music talent.
