Simon Cowell has offered to pay for fellow X factor judge, Louis Walsh, to have his teeth capped for the next series of The X Factor.

Simon said: “Louis was supposed to have new teeth himself for the latest series. He does need them. I would actually pay for him to have new teeth.

“It’s a big job. In fact, I’ll start with just one tooth this year. Then we can keep going for the next 20 years.”
