Simon Cowell discusses possible Louis Walsh return
But it comes with a few conditions
Simon Cowell has admitted there’s a possibility that former judge Louis Walsh could make a return to The X Factor.
It's after rumours were sparked last month, suggesting he'd be a fifth judge to help raise the viewing figures.
Speaking to Good Morning Britain, Simon said he notices the Irish band manager isn’t there, referring to him as a ‘ghost’.
He suggests Louis' comeback wouldn't be permanent, as he was shown to toy with the idea of having him as a guest judge or,he joked, if a poll voted 99.9% in his favour.
According to some reports, the music and TV producer sacked Louis face to face earlier this year.
However Louis, who’s been on the show 11 years, apparently already felt it was time to move on, telling an Irish TV channel that he wanted to focus on being a manager.
We don't think there's any bad blood though, as Simon took to Twitter to thank Louis and all the previous judges.
