Louis Tomlinson Is Already The Favourite To Replace Nick Grimshaw As A Judge On The X Factor

YAY!

With Nick Grimshaw having announced this morning he won't be returning to the X Factor this year, all eyes have immediately turned to who might replace him.

And, like the rest of the world, we'd really quite like it to be Louis Tomlinson.

In fact, according to William Hill the One Direction singer is already the favourite to join the panel.

“There were rumours that Louis Tomlinson was going to join the panel last year before Grimmy was selected but after a not so sparkling year, Simon will surely be looking to return a bit of showbiz glamour to the show,” said spokesman Joe Crilly.

Well that would be very exciting, wouldn't it?

Anyway, as for why Grimmy has decided to quit the show, he explained on Radio 1 this morning:

"We just had a think about it and sat down, and I just thought it's one of those things that I loved, I did love it, its not a diss to the show, it's not me storming out of X Factor being like 'screw you Cheryl'! It's a great show and I loved it."

It's also been reported that Caroline Flack has been axed as co-presenter of the show, with Dermot O'Leary tipped to be making a triumphant return.

Onlylikesix months to wait until the whole things starts again.
