The Irishman first appeared in the first series in 2004 and confirmed in a statement that he was "ready to leave."
Louis said:“I’ve had a fantastic 13 years on The X Factor but the show needs a change and I’m ready to leave.“I’m looking forward to another series of Ireland’s Got Talent, going back to my day job as a manager, writing my memoirs and seeing the world!”
