Louis Walsh has reportedly revealed he is to quit 'X Factor' next year and admitted "I'm not a TV star".

The News Of News Of The World quotes him as saying he wants to focus on managing Westlife and former 'X Factor' winner Shayne Ward instead.

Walsh told the paper: "I will do one more series. I have really enjoyed doing it but I'm not a TV star, I'm a band manager.

"X Factor takes over your life.  By the end of the show I am exhausted, and then I have to work with my acts."

Louis also said he was close to his fellow judges Simon Cowell and Sharon Osbourne, but added: "I'm not like Simon. I don't have to be on television all the time."
