Louis Walsh has confirmed he is returning to The X Factor.<\/p>\n

The Irish music manager has revealed that he will\u00a0reunite with his original co-judges Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne on the panel.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the MailOnline, Louis said he has\u00a0officially signed on the dotted line, but it’s not known whether he will act as a judge on the new celebrity or All Stars version.<\/p>\n

Despite Sharon Osbourne’s very public row with Simon Cowell earlier this year, Louis is confident that she will be back on the show.<\/p>\n

He explained: “Sharon would be great. She’s burnt a few bridges but that’s what’s good about her \u2014 she has an opinion. She’s never boring or predictable.”<\/p>\n

“She was only joking. It was all panto talk. They will make up. I’m going to mediate between them. I’ll do anything necessary.”<\/p>\n

The news comes just weeks after it was reported that Louis was in talks to return to the judging panel alongside Nicole Scherzinger.<\/p>\n

However, it’s not clear whether the former Pussycat deal has agreed to any deal just yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
