X Factor boss Simon Cowell is considering getting rid of Louis Walsh from the show next year.
Insiders have revealed that fellow judges Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Mel B are barely speaking to him, and are sick of him winding them up.
Now Cowell is understood to be questioning Louis’ future on the show, after 10 years on the panel.

“The three judges are barely speaking to Louis right now. Simon’s sick of him winding everyone up and tensions have been mounting for weeks,” a source told Now.
“Cheryl and Mel keep saying they’re not sure they can put up with him for the rest of the series.
“Simon reminds them they only have until Christmas, but he also finds it hard not to lose his cool over Louis’ attitude.”
Louis recently came under fire from Cheryl Cole – who said she is forced to “accept him” for what he is.
She said: “I accept him for what he is. But he’s not someone I’d call tomorrow if I was in a crisis.”
