Louis Walsh has revealed that he plans to tease Simon Cowell about his alleged affairs on air during the live X Factor shows.

Louis Walsh stated that he and Sharon Osbourne “laughed non-stop for two days” after pictures of Jasmine Lennard leaving Cowell’s home were published in a newspaper.

“I loved the picture of Simon’s head poking round the door. It was just fantastic,” Louis told The Mirror. “I want to put a Santa’s hat on his head and use it as the X Factor Christmas card. I’ll add some snow coming down as well.

“At least Jasmine’s fur coat will look more suitable in that weather. I think we all know what she was wearing under that!”

The three judges refused to comment on the incident at the show’s launch party earlier this week.

“We were banned from talking about it but he will get some stick on the show,” Walsh confirmed.
