A change of career for Louis

Published 19th Feb 2016

Louis Tomlinson is out of a job at the moment since One Direction are enjoying a hiatus, but it might not be for long as he could be in line for a judging role on The X Factor.

Louis, who is good pals with music mogul and X Factor’s main man Simon Cowell has been tipped for a seat on the panel in the spare seat.

Louis looks set to join Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Rita Ora and Simon with a source saying “Louis Tomlinson is very likely to replace Grimmy. He agreed in principle to the job while assisting Simon Cowell during the judges’ houses round last year.”

The ‘History’ singer is clearly keen for a job on the show after commenting on how much he loves it just last year whilst stating “I’m the biggest X Factor fan and would love to be there week in, week out and really give that level of passion. I think I’d be a decent judge.”

Do you think the former contestant has what it takes?
