Louis Walsh has officially asked Tulisa to join him at judges houses on the X Factor.
The Mayo man will be jetting off to island paradise Bermuda with his six finalists later this month.
And the 61-year-old has ensured that Tulisa will be by his side on the show – after she was sensationally cleared of cocaine charges.

It comes after Tulisa revealed that Louis was one of her only showbiz pals to stick by her during the run up to the court case – as 90% refused to be associated with her.
Insiders revealed that Louis has been landed with the groups category this year on the show.
But the ex-Westlife boss isn’t annoyed at being given the hardest category for the sixth time on the series.

“Let’s just say that he was expecting it,” a source said. “It’s usually the groups or the overs – whatever is the hardest.”
