Louis Walsh isn't worried about being axed from 'The X Factor'.
Returning judge Cheryl Cole has reportedly called for the veteran panellist - who has appeared on all 10 series of the ITV singing competition - to be sacked, but Louis isn't concerned about his position being jeopardised.
He said: "I'm not worried."
Louis, 61, remains close with show creator Simon Cowell, 54, and thinks his place on the show is secure.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Louis is tight with Simon and isn't bothered about what Cheryl has been saying. He will be back as far he's concerned and he wants Sharon Osbourne at his side."
Meanwhile, it's thought Sharon - who won the show last year with her act Sam Bailey - could return to the panel, while the final seat could be filled by either Olly Murs or former LMFAO rapper Redfoo, who has impressed Simon with his stint on 'The X Factor' Australia.
Simon has confirmed he and Cheryl will decide the two remaining judges together and he has even given the 'Call My Name' singer final say.
A show source said: "Simon wanted to wait until Cheryl was 100 per cent confirmed first so they could talk. Both of them like how edgy and cool Redfoo is. He makes great telly."

Kylie Minogue isn't sure whether she will return to 'The Voice'.
The pop princess has admitted she might not be back for a second series when the BBC One singing competition returns in 2015 because of her touring commitments.
She said: "I'm already doing it again in Australia, but UK or Australia, I don't know if I could [do another season] because I'm going to be touring. We'll see.
"I am doing 'The Voice' Australia so that will carry on until July. I've got to get through at least this one first, and then two with Australia."
Kylie also said she was "really excited" about the upcoming live shows, which begin on March 22.
Ricky Wilson, who joined the panel alongside Kylie this year, recently said he wanted the current coaches to stay together because the chemistry between them and veteran mentors Sir Tom Jones and will.i.am is so good.
Asked whether he thought BBC One bosses should offer him a new deal, he joked: "They'd be f**king idiots if they didn't. All the coaches have made it really good this year."

Joey Essex thinks his relationship with Sam Faiers will be better without the cameras.
The 23-year-old reality star thinks his rekindled romance with his former 'The Only Way Is Essex' co-star could stand a better chance now he is no longer on the show, but insists he won't let her continued stint in the ITV2 series get in the way of their "genuine" relationship.
Quizzed if there's a 'TOWIE' relationship curse, Joey exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "I think people say that, but with me and Sam, we are quite a genuine relationship. People see that and that's why people related to us quite well. So [the show] wouldn't ever get in my way.
"But it's nice to have a bit of personal time [away from the cameras]."
Joey and Sam - who was recently diagnosed with Crohn's disease - endured a very public break-up during their time on the show and a number of their co-stars' relationships have since been rocked by cheating rumours.
But the reality TV hunk isn't convinced all 'TOWIE' relationships cursed.
He mused: "I'm not in it anymore and since I've been away from 'TOWIE' I haven't had a relationship, so I really can't say why so many people cheat. It is what it is. You go on the show, if you're with someone you're gonna have to do scenes and if things happen, it just happens."
Joey's new show 'Educating Joey Essex' starts Sunday 16 March on ITV2 at 9pm.

Cameron Diaz think women are not given "permission" to age.
The 41-year-old actress thinks society has a "crazy" obsession with trying to stay youthful and she believes females in particular give one another a hard time about their looks as they get older.
Speaking to Oprah Winfrey for her forthcoming OWN special 'Cameron Diaz & Sharon Stone: Aging Gracefully', she said: "Women don't allow other women to age gracefully. And we don't give ourselves permission to age gracefully."
When Oprah says women are trying to be "back there" in the past, Cameron agrees and went on to say people view her as a "failure" for failing to halt the ageing process.
In an extract from the show posted on E! Online, she added: "And they're trying.. For me I feel like if I... it's almost as if we have failed if we don't remain 25 for the rest of our lives. Like we are failures. It's a personal failure.
"Like our fault that at 40 years old that I still don't look like I'm 25."
"Oh, I'm sorry. I apologise. "I wasn't able to defy nature."
Elsewhere in the show, Sharon, 56, spoke of her philosophy of feeling beautiful.
She said: "We have to have internal health and internal wellness. And I think that's physical health, mental health, spiritual health. You know, I think it's a sense of ethics. It's everything.

Kelly Brook's on/off boyfriend crashed a van full of dead badgers.
David McIntosh, was taking the carcasses to a furnace as part of the governments culling scheme - by which badgers are shot in order to prevent the spread of tuberculosis - when he lost control of the vehicle and drove it into a nearby bus stop.
The former 'Gladiators' star - who was hired as a security guard by a private firm - claims the crash was caused when a police radio used to give information on the location of anti-cull protesters fell under the brake pedal.
The ex-Marine said: "The radio fell off the dashboard under the pedals and it was blocking the clutch and brake.
"I have driven under fire and always kept my composure."
But his passenger, John Parker insists hunk fell asleep.
He told Stroud Magistrates court: "When I looked at David, both his hands were on the wheel, but his head was chest. I believe his eyes were shut."
David, 28, had been driving a VW Transporter when the incident occurred in Gloucester around 1am on September 29, but he had his licence suspended for that class of vehicle after he ran a red light back in 2005.
David did not appear in court but admitted by letter to careless driving without a valid license and was reprimanded with six penalty points and was fined £91, plus a £20 victim surcharge and £30 prosecution costs.
Kelly and David split last month after dating for several weeks, but are rumoured to have reunited after they were pictured enjoying a night out in London together earlier this week.

"Because now, the majority of the time, anytime I come home, people are there waiting for their champagne...when I made the announcement here on your show, people were like, 'Oh my god, this is perfect. Lets go get drunk.'
"I went and looked at an open house thew other day, I think I've got to move. I live literally a 90-second walk from Sunset [Boulevard] so its just got such easy access."
The 'Breaking Bad' star - who is married to Lauren Parsekian - admitted he has even taken to staying away from his house if he sees fans waiting outside.
He added: It's a little scary, I see people and just turn the car round and drive away and hope they'll be gone by the time I get back."

Kelly Osbourne has undergone a third session of "horrendously painful" tattoo removal.
The 'Fashion Police' host has had several of her 15 inkings removed and, after undergoing another bout of laser treatment on Tuesday (11.03.14) to take off some of the artwork on her arms, she has advised fans to "think" before committing to something so permanent.
She wrote on her blog: "As humans we fill our conscience with clichés to selfishly justify the ridiculous things we do in life... Such as getting stupid tattoos.
"I have now undergone my third laser tattoo removal. All day I have found myself saying 'no pain no gain' or 'pain is beauty!' however the bigger lesson I have taken away from this horrendously painful experience is THINK BEFORE YOU INK!...
"Furthermore think before you make ANY permanent decision because its ok to change your mind before its too late!(sic)"
Kelly underwent two tattoo removal sessions last year but they had been a long time coming as she admitted back in 2010 she wanted to get rid of her body art.
Kelly said at the time: ''Some still have a special meaning, like the matching ones my brother Jack and I have of each other's names, but now I feel like some were a mistake.''

Emma Bunton would be open to the Spice Girls having a Las Vegas concert residency.
The singer-turned-radio presenter says it would take more than Britney Spears' rumoured £195,000-per-show in the US gambling capital to make the girl band reunite on stage again.
She told the Metro newspaper: "I'd go to Vegas - if we get paid more than Britney. After the Olympics, it was really hard to think, 'What can we do next?' We represented our country, it was huge! We like to say never say never, so we'll have to see."
However, the girls - Mel C, Mel B, Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham - are all mothers and Emma admits her own sons, Beau, six, and two-year-old Tate, who she has with her boyfriend Jade Jones, would be the biggest obstacle to the residency.
The 'Wannabe' singer added: "I mean, we've all got children, so travelling with them... but, who knows, at the moment we're happy doing our own things."
Victoria Beckham has insisted that she will never get back together with the girls after they reunited for a sell-out 2008 world tour, 'The Return of the Spice Girls' and then again to perform at the London 2012 Olympics.
She claimed: "I won't ever do it again. Doing the Olympics was an incredible honour. I was so proud to do it; proud to be British...That was a perfect time to say, 'That's great. Thank you to everybody, but no more.' Sometimes you've got to know when it's time to leave the party."
