Age: 59
Famous for: Managing the likes of Westlife and Boyzone
Most likely to be: Himself. He's been on the panel since 2004 so we are quite prepared to bet our years wage that he'll be the same-old loveable Louis
Judges house options: A member of Westlife or Boyzone would be the obvious option, but we'd quite like to see one of the JLS lads - who he mentored in 2008 - getting involved.
The worst option? Jedward. And we wouldn't put it past Louis to get the little Irish scamps in to 'help' him
Fun Fact: Louis had a brief stint managing Girls Aloud, from 2002 to 2003.
