A change of career for Louis

Published 19th Feb 2016

Louis Tomlinson is out of a job at the moment since One Direction are enjoying a hiatus, but it might not be for long as he could be in line for a judging role on The X Factor.

Louis, who is good pals with music mogul and X Factor’s main man Simon Cowell has been tipped for a seat on the panel in the spare seat.

Louis looks set to join Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Rita Ora and Simon with a source saying ā€œLouis Tomlinson is very likely to replace Grimmy. He agreed in principle to the job while assisting Simon Cowell during the judges’ houses round last year.ā€

The ā€˜History’ singer is clearly keen for a job on the show after commenting on how much he loves it just last year whilst stating ā€œI’m the biggest X Factor fan and would love to be there week in, week out and really give that level of passion. I think I’d be a decent judge.ā€

Do you think the former contestant has what it takes?
