Louis Walsh Demanding £1.3 Million For X Factor 2009
X Factor judge, Louis Walsh, is said to be demanding £1.3 million to remain on the judging panel on the show this year.
The Sun reports that Walsh is currently earning £800,000 per series, but sees himself as such an integral part of the show that he wants to almost double his wage.
An insider said: “It may sound like a lot of money but that’s how Louis sees his market value.
“He is a key reason why The X Factor has become one of Britain’s most popular TV shows and he has had a lot of success in the ‘real world’ managing the likes of Boyzone and Westlife.”

His only success is Boyzone and Westlife. Louis is the most disliked judge on X-Factor and personally I would love it if he is replaced. Please, please do not give him a enormous pay rise he does not deserve it. Look at how he always lets his acts down as he is out of touch, if it was not for Westlife he would be finished and forgotten, bet he is desparate that after a year off Westlife do not decide not to get back together.

During the current recession Louis should set an example and not be greedy.

i agree. he already lives in a bloody castle! if he was saying he wanted an extra half a million to go to charity then fairdos….£800,000 can’t be bad for an easy job that takes less than half the year.
