Louis Walsh has spoken about his uncertainty surrounding the next series of The X Factor. He has made it clear that he would love to continue as an X Factor judge, but that it all depends upon Simon Cowell hiring him for the job.

Louis explained: “If he employs me next year for X Factor I will do it and I love working with Sharon and him because off camera we’re great friends but we’re all very competitive people and we all want to be seen to win.”
