LOUIS Walsh is quitting X Factor next year, he revealed last night.
He says he wants to concentrate on managing Westlife and former X Factor winner Shayne Ward.
The Irishman, 55,said last night: “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 final show I am exhausted, and then I have to work with my acts.”
He said he was close to fellow judges Sharon Osbourne and Simon Cowell but added: “I’m not like Simon, I don’t have to be on television or be a judge the whole time.”
