The Louis Factor! Louis Tomlinson is the hot favourite to replace Louis Walsh on The X Factor

Louis Tomlinson has been tipped to nab Louis Walsh’s judging seat on The X Factor.

The pop guru recently admitted he is “done with” the reality competition and it looks like X Factor bosses are after someone newer and younger.

Bookies have gone wild following the Mayo native’s admission – with the 1D heartthrob the hot favourite for the chair at 7/4.

Replaced: Louis Tomlinson is favourite to take the Mayo man’s chair

Other stars rumoured to be in the running include Robbie Williams in a close second at 2/1 while Zayn Malik stands further afield at 12/1 despite being a free agent.

Noel Gallagher and Jeremy Clarkson stand as outsiders for the job at 66/1 and 100/1 respectively.

“Walsh has been dropping hints for years but it finally looks like all retirement bets are off. When it comes to his replacement, the odds suggest One Direction may lose another member,” Alex Donohue of Ladbrokes said.

While Simon Cowell takes the credit for forming One Direction, the Mayo native insisted he played a role as well.

“Simon takes most of the credit, but Nicole Scherzinger and I were very much involved as well,” he told The Seven O’Clock Show.

“If it hadn’t of worked Simon would have said that it was our idea.”
