Louis Walsh has sensationally announced that he wants Sharon Osbourne back on the X Factor judging panel.
The X Factor judge is urging bosses to bring Sharon, who has an ongoing feud with Dannii Minogue, back to the panel for good.
Walsh, who has enlisted SharonÂ’s help during the judgesÂ’ houses stage of the competition, said he'd love to have her back.
When asked if Dannii knew about OsbourneÂ’s possible return, the Irish boy band manager said:
“Dannii who? Dannii’s been in Australia, we haven’t seen her.
“Sharon is a friend of mine, Dannii is an acquaintance. Sharon’s the best judge, what you see is what you get.
“I’d love Sharon to come back on the X Factor.”
WalshÂ’s comments are sure to upset Dannii, who claimed in her book that the rows between them ruined her debut on X Factor.
This weekend, the 32 contestants will compete at the judgeÂ’s homes, before being whittled down to just 12 acts to face the live finals.
The X Factor is on next Saturday at 7.05pm and next Sunday at 7.45pm.
