X Factor creative director, Brian Friedman has revealed that judge Louis Walsh will be back on the show this Saturday.

Brian seemed excited by the news, but as much as I am sorry for Louis’ huge loss and difficult time, I have to admit that I enjoyed The X Factor without him.

No ridiculous stupid comments, no petty or cringeworthy (attempted) put downs of Simon, though we weren’t spared the old man song choices. If last week had been a test, I’d say that Simon, Dannii and Cheryl passed with flying colours. They can more than manage without Louis and that might be something for Mr Cowell to bear in mind for next year’s series.
