Simon Cowell gets his own way as Louis Walsh gets signed for his tenth series of The X Factor
Luckily for Louis Walsh, Simon Cowell has been fighting his corner to keep him on the X Factor panel.
And it looks like it's worked!
X Factor bosses wanted to completely refresh the format of the show, which sadly for Louis meant giving him the boot. But Simon's managed to convince them to keep him on the panel – for his tenth series no less!
But the concession came only after Simon agreed to keep Gary Barlow on board, as the music mogul was holding out on getting behind Gary's return.
A friend of Louis said: "He's been told by the heads of entertainment at ITV that he's coming back and (executive producer) Richard Holloway has also said he'll be back.
"Obviously he wants to see the contract in his hand but everyone who has the power to make a decision on it has said he's coming back so if that changes something very odd has gone on.
"Normally it's Simon who upsets the apple cart at the last minute but he's been desperate to keep Louis on the show so he's unlikely to give him the axe.
"He's always said he wants to do ten series of the show."
Louis is also keen to stick around as there have been rumours that his good pal Sharon Osbourne could be back on the panel.
So are you glad to hear that Louis will be on this year's judging panel?
