X Factor judge Louis Walsh says that his boss Simon Cowell will never quit TV, because he is too vain.

Cowell has given a number of interviews recently in which he claims to be exhausted and considering stepping down from some of his major TV shows. However his pal Louis claims that Simon loves TV too much to quit.

He told The Sunday People:

“Simon will never give up being on telly, he’s too vain.

“Simon said he didn’t want to be a judge forever but he will. He enjoys doing it and without him I’m not sure if the show would go ahead.

“It wouldn’t be the same. Simon and I have our rows but he does actually know what he’s doing. He’s a character and a talented man.

“Even before The X Factor started he was the brains behind Westlife and look how many Number Ones they have had.”
