Louis Walsh admitted he is having second thoughts about quitting The X Factor after a decade on the judging panel.

Walsh recently said that the current series was to be his last because he needed his "life back".

But when he was asked about leaving, during an appearance on ITV's The Jonathan Ross Show, he said: "Well, I said I was. But I'm having so much fun this year, I might stay."

Gary Barlow , who has also said he is leaving The X Factor after this year, was also a guest on the show which is due to be screened later today.

He told Jonathan Ross that although he does not shed tears on screen, unlike some of his colleagues, the tough decisions on the show do make him emotional.
