X Factor Judge Louis Walsh Demands A Payrise…….AGAIN!
X Factor judge Louis Walsh is threatening to pull out of the upcoming series if he isn’t offered another payrise to bring him in line with fellow judge Sharon Osbourne’s fee.
Despite having his fee doubled only a few months ago Louis now wants another pay hike, increasing his payout to £1.5 million!
“I haven’t signed any contract yet despite reports saying I have, and there are issues which I am still not happy about but they are yet to be resolved,” Louis told The People. “I’m looking for a pay rise and if I don’t get it, I simply won’t do it and yes, it’s on the back of Sharon’s latest deal.”
He added, “This time last year everything was signed and sealed but not this year. They definitely want me to do it but I want more money. End of story.”
To be honest I’m not sure that Louis is worth £1.5 million, if it was my decision I would drop Louis and hire another judge, possibly with a sense of humour, and definately one who doesn’t continuously put lame acts through!
