Is Louis Walsh going to the Other Side?
Louis Walsh may have the last laugh after being axed from ITV1's X Factor - he's rumoured to be appearing on BBC One show Any Dream Will Do.
The Irish music mogul is said to have jumped at the chance to take part in the series, which will see wannabes audition for the lead in the West End production of Joseph And The Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, reports the Mirror.
The show will apparently rival ITV1's talent show Grease Is The Word, which is being produced by X Factor's Simon Cowell.
A source told the paper: "He (Louis) was really hurt by the way Simon dropped him without even speaking to him directly.
"The BBC moved fast to ask if he'd like to help out. He is delighted to be working for the Beeb - and the fact that he'll be going up against Cowell's show makes it even sweeter."
A BBC spokesman said Louis would not be on the show's judging panel, but he confirmed that industry experts would be appearing on the show. He said: "He is not a member of the panel. They will have experts coming in, but these haven't been confirmed."
