Veteran X Factor judge Louis Walsh has confirmed that he will return to the X Factor judging panel.
Speaking to 2FM's Colm Hayes, 61-year-old Walsh said: "I knew I was doing the show but I just signed the deal and I'm very happy with it. At my age you have to keep working!"
Walsh further explained that Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell are putting their feud behind them, adding: "They will get on really well. I think they'll try to hog the limelight [and] it will be all about them.
"The falling out is long over and this'll give Cheryl a whole new career. She'll have a new record coming out and all."
When asked who he thinks could fill the remaining fourth seat on the panel, he said: "It has to be someone I like. "I'd love it to be Sharon Osborne, but I don't think it's going to be her.
"I think it could be Mel B from the Spice Girls - I love her and she's quite mad.
"She also did both the American version and the Australian versions of X Factor. But people are also mentioning Alesha [Dixon] and Rita Ora as well."
