Louis Walsh loses his seat on the X Factor judging panel and is replaced by auditionee
Philip Hadlow admitted it was his dream to be a judge on the show
TONIGHT'S X Factor sees Louis Walsh get the boot from the judging panel.
Despite his triumphant return to the show after Simon ousted him last year, poor Louis had to give up his seat for an auditionee.
After failing to impress judge's with his singing, Philip Hadlow admitted he wanted to be an x Factor judge.
He said: “Ultimately, I’d love to end up on that panel,” before adding that it would "open doors" for him.
Simon agrees and sends Louis off on a tea break and lets Phil take his seat on the hallowed judging panel. giving him the chance to live his dream.
The next act, Christina Postma from Holland, is understandably confused by his presence on the panel but then the two seem to hit it off with Phil even asking is she's single.
Guest Judge Mel B, who was sitting in for Nicole, even suggested that they pair should get to know each other better.
Phil was very confident in his new role telling Christina: "You have a lovely radiant smile to go with your voice... but you’re not quite ready for the competition yet."
Dermot was less than impressed with Christina who kept asking him "Who are you?" when he was trying to talk to her before the audition.
But it wasn't long before Louis has back in the hot seat beside guest judge Mel B who is just as feisty as last time she was on the show.
