'X Factor' judge Louis Walsh has revealed that he turned down the chance to be a contestant on the upcoming series of 'Strictly Come Dancing'.
The 54-year-old told Heat magazine that he was approached to appear on the BBC show after he was axed from 'The X Factor' judging panel earlier this year.
Walsh turned down the dance show offer after Simon Cowell asked him to return to the singing show.
He told the magazine: "The funny thing was, the day before the call from 'The X Factor', I got a call to be a contestant on 'Strictly Come Dancing'. I thought: 'I'd love to do it, just to annoy Simon'."
