What Will Simon Say? Louis Walsh For Strictly!

Not only is Louis Walsh leaving The X Factor but he has revealed that he is going to be a contestant on rival show Strictly Come Dancing.

That’s right, the 61-year-old is set to leave the music behind after he completes his 10th year (this year) on the show.

 

The X Factor judge is said to be leaving after this year's series.

According to multiple reports he said: “I am going to be a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing. But I am saying no more than that.”

As well as creating a potential rift between him and his long-time buddy Simon Cowell, the move would see Louis teaming up with Bruce Forsyth with whom he was involved in a spat with last year.

 

We have to admit we'd love to see Louis attempt this!

While the former Westlife manager won’t be leaving his seat any time soon, Robbie Williams has already been tipped as the favourite to replace him.

But as much as we’d love to see Robbie on X Factor and Louis trying to salsa, we’re taking this all with a pinch of salt. After all, it wouldn’t be the first time he has said something for the fun of it!
