Louis Walsh has finally found a way to return to The X Factor – by paying show boss Simon Cowell thousands of pounds.
The Irish music mogul will return to the ITV talent contest one year after being sacked after paying Si £20,000 at a charity auction in return for a one-off stint.
Given that he was axed from the show last year and repalced by Radio One DJ Nick Grismahw, it’s a surprising turn of events to see Louis now paying for the privilege of being on the show.
