Speculation is mounting on who will fill the X Factor judging panel on this year’s X Factor following Louis Walsh’s dramatic exit.

It was revealed earlier this year that the 62-year-old had been given the boot after 10 years on the talent show panel.

But the Irish-born TV personality reckons he knows EXACTLY how the line up will play out.

He told Unreality TV: “I think there is a great chance Grimmy will get my job.”

Louis then added: “Simon and Cheryl are on the panel. Then I’d say Grimmy and Mel B.”

But the music manager doesn’t think Grimmy will find the role smooth sailing at first.

Louis said: “I don’t think he realises the hard work he has to put in though… You don’t just show up; it’s three or four days a week.”

He than added cuttingly: “He’d better not use any of my catchphrases.”

Sour grapes, Louis?
