Louis Walsh has confirmed his X Factor departure. He says although he hasn't been 'sacked' from the show, he hasn't been asked back either.
Speaking to the Press Association, Louis said:
"The truth is I've done it for 11 years; I never thought I would even be on TV for four or five. To get 10 was great, to get 11 was amazing - I'm not hanging around for them this year."
He added: "I haven't been sacked. I can honestly tell you that. But I'm not hanging around for them this year because I want to go back to being a manager… But I wasn't sacked, I haven't been hired and I'm not hanging around."
