Louis Walsh is set to make his TV comeback on car show Drive.
The former X Factor judge is set to make his return to the small screen on the series that is set to rival Top Gear.
The Mayo native will go head to head against another celeb in a series of driving challenges.
Return: Louis is making his TV comeback
‘The full line-up is being kept under wraps. But Louis is very excited about it. He’s a brilliant character, not afraid to speak his mind and cut people down to size,” a source told The Sun.
The celebs on the new series will be instructed by experts as they jump behind the wheel of various types of cars.
The show is expected to air later this year with the finalists getting the chance to drive a car similar to Lewis Hamilton’s.
Competition: Louis will face off against a host of celebs
“Bosses have got really high hopes for this one and it is shaping up to be a great show. It will be broadcast later this year,” the source said.
”People will be eliminated each week and whoever’s left by the end will compete in the final and get to race Formula 4000 cars, which are slightly less powerful versions of the F1 cars Lewis Hamilton drives.”
