Simon Cowell has risen from his sick bed and ousted Louis Walsh from the Britain’s Got Talent judging panel.

Having been struck down with the flu this week, Louis was asked to step in for two days of BGT Birmingham auditions as Simon recuperated at home.

However yesterday Louis’ reign ended as Simon appeared on the stage telling the crowd:

“Hello, my name is Simon Cowell and I’m here to remove Louis from the panel!”

It couldn’t have came soon enough for us! It’s bad enough having to watch Louis on the X Factor each autumn and winter, without him popping up in the spring TV schedules too!
