Louis Walsh Set For An X Factor Return...Well Sort Of

Louis Walsh will be back on X Factor this year...But only as Simon Cowell's cleaner.

Louis has agreed to make a surprise appearance in the opening episode of the new series.

According to a report in the Daily Star today, Louis has agreed to feature in a light-hearted clip which is set to be broadcast at the start of the first episode.

In the footage, Louis will be seen sweeping the floor of The X Factor laboratory where Simon secretly conjures up his money-making pop stars.

"Louis is game for a laugh and has agreed to play a cleaner in the opening film," a source confirmed to the newspaper.

Good to see Louis doesn't hold any grudges after being axed from the show this year.
