LOUIS WALSH HAS quit his role as a judge on The X-Factor after over a decade.

Louis said he’d had a fantastic 13 years on the show but admitted it was time to move on.

Louis has been the longest running judge on The X Factor, appearing on all bar one series since the show began in 2004. He will, though, continue to remain a key talent for Thames and Syco, notably as head judge on Ireland’s Got Talent which returns in 2019.

The developments signal the beginning of a new era for the UK’s most popular music talent show, which returns to ITV for its 15th series later this year.

But listen, never mind all that – let’s remember all the times Louis was bloody gas.

1. His lasting legacy will be bringing his acts to Ireland while the other contestants lived it up somewhere sunny.
