SHARON & LOUIS IN EXIT FACTORX Factor judges Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh admit they are terrified TV’s Mr Nasty Simon Cowell will give them the boot from the show next year.
Fiery Sharon, at the centre of bitter spats with new judge Dannii Minogue this year, admits she no longer makes “long-term plans” because she might not be on the show.
And Louis – who was famously sacked earlier this year then brought back – says he has been more outspoken against Cowell and that might backfire on him.
TV chiefs have already opened the doors for applications to come flooding in for next year’s ratings-pulling X Factor show.
Even she confessed she did not know what was likely to happen to her.
She said: “I never know what I am doing from one moment to the next. I have learned you don’t make long-term plans in this industry.”
She added: “If they want me, I’m here. But I admit with no acts in the final I have been a terrible mentor this year.”
But, sources claim, Sharon sealed her fate when she walked off the show after contestant Kimberley Southwick got kicked off early in the run.
Although, she saved her skin then, with a grovelling apology, it was one tantrum too many and helped Dannii’s star to rise.
An X Factor insider said: “All the fuss didn’t bother Dannii at all – she’d love to see Sharon leave the show because she wants to be the queen bee.
“After Sharon stormed off she calmly went straight up to Simon and offered him the names of some possible replacements.
“Sharon has every reason to be worried because Dannii has Simon wrapped around her little finger.”
Louis, 55, admitted his days might be numbered after clashing with Cowell, 48, more often this year.
He said: “I’ve been very outspoken this year.
“I’m not so afraid as last year. I’d like to be back next year, but who knows?”

However, questions are being raised over which judges will be back next summer.
The biggest question mark is whether pop manager Sharon, 55, – who had backstage rows with Dannii, 35, and even threatened to walk off the show – will actually return.Daily Star (http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/view/23906/Sharon-Louis-in-eXit-Factor/)
