Louis Walsh ‘plans tell-all book to settle a few scores’ after X Factor axe
The Irish music mogul will lift the lid on some of The X Factor's darkest secrets
LOUIS Walsh is planning to write a tell-all autobiography that will dish the dirt on all his enemies, according to a new report.
The Irish music manager - who recently announced he's leaving The X Factor after 13 years to "work on his memoirs" - will lift the lid on all the talent show's secrets.
According to the Daily Mirror, Louis will write about Simon Cowell's affair with Dannii Minogue, his feelings for Cheryl Cole, Simon's relationship with girlfriend Lauren Silverman and the backstage rows that took place during X Factor filming.
A source said: "He is going to settle a few scores."
The source also revealed that Louis will be paid for this series, as he has a two-year contract with ITV.
Meanwhile, Sinitta thinks Louis will end up back on The X Factor.
She said: "Do you think he really has? How many times has Louis quit X Factor? He says it every year. Do you think it really is it for him?
"He's said it before and he's always gone back.
"But saying that, maybe it is time he gave up and made way for someone new. I would miss him and I think viewers will.";
"Louis is a genuinely nice guy. Him and Simon are such good friends and if he really has left I'm sure they will still hang out."

However, it could be tricky for Louis to make a comeback after The Sun exclusively revealed how Robbie Williams is being lined up to replace Louis, 65.
The superstar has been in secret negotiations for weeks and show chiefs are confident he will put pen to paper.
X Factor boss Simon, 58, has been trying to hire the former Take That man, 44, for a decade.
His crusade intensified after the singer impressed him as a guest judge with Sharon Osbourne in 2016.
A show insider said: “Robbie has always been Simon’s dream signing.
“Now it appears he’s finally going to get his man.
“Over the past 12 months they’ve become close, as have their wives, who are also pals.
“There’s a deal on the table and Robbie is keen to do it. The hope is that the deal is days away from being signed and announced.”
