Some people will definitely be relieved to hear that Louis is reported to be leaving after this series ends. It's not that he's done anything wrong, exactly, he's just a bit, well, meh - isn't he? Walsh is planning to spend the extra time managing his acts, Westlife and Shayne Ward.

Louis said: “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.”

Ah. Must be a terrible life. Very entertaining video of Louis on the Graham Norton show here. No embedding, sorry. But would it kill you to click on a link for once?
