"More major changes appear to be in the pipeline for The X Factor before it returns to ITV this autumn, including a mix-up of judges as it appears that veteran judge Louis Walsh is set to leave the talent competition for good.Despite being dubbed the show's "great survivor", Louis – who has been on the singing competition since it started in 2004 – seems ready to take on a new project.
Sources have exclusively told HELLO! magazine that if Louis does leave he is likely to help launch Ireland's Got Talent, a spin-off of popular show Britian's Got Talent, and play a starring role in the new series as chief judge.While Louis is yet to make any comments, the 62-year-old has previously made no secret of his desire to leave The X Factor."I think I'm done with it," said Louis, speaking on Irish programme The Seven O'Clock Show last month. The Irishman now spends an increasing amount of time in his native land.
