Louis Walsh is reportedly being paid £1 million for his return to The X Factor.
As the music manager has made his sensational return to the talent show alongside Nicole Scherzinger, Sharon Osbourne and Simon Cowell, the judges pay cheques have been revealed – and they’re very interesting.
According to the Daily Mirror, Nicole is getting over £100,000 more than Sharon Osbourne as she’ll pick up a cheque for a whopping £1.8 million, while Sharon will get £1.7 million.
Sharon was meant to be paid the most out of the judges, as it was reportedly stipulation in her contract, but it seems that’s not the case anymore.
“During negotiations, Sharon stipulated that she had to be the highest- paid judge,” a source told the Mirror.
“But what she doesn’t know is that Nicole is set to pocket an extra £125,000.This will surely anger Sharon, who feels she’s worth more than Nicole.
