Louis Walsh QUITS The X Factor after 13-years on long-running show… as producers confirm it is ‘the start of a new era’.

The 65-year-old entertainment manager has been the ITV talent competition’s most long-standing judge, having been on the panel in all but one of the show’s series since its conception in 2004, but on Thursday he revealed he is bowing out of the show.

He said in a statement: ‘I’ve had a fantastic 13 years on The X Factor but the show needs a change and I’m ready to leave.’

Louis won’t be leaving Thames and Syco for good though, as although he won’t be working on The X Factor any more, he will still be the head judge on Ireland’s Got Talent, which returns in 2019.
