Simon Cowell would like to bring Louis Walsh back to 'The X Factor' as a guest judge.
The 56-year-old music mogul axed his close pal from the show earlier this year in favour of new judges Rita Ora and Nick Grimshaw but he's now revealed he's tempted to bring him back, if only to shut viewers up.
He said: "I've got the ghost of Louis everywhere at the moment. What's so weird is that when he was on the show I'd always have people complaining about him and now he's gone it's like, 'Why isn't he there'. So I don't know what's going to happen.
"I couldn't just bring him back. I do like the idea of maybe having a guest judge, something like that, that's a possibility."
Asked if he might add an extra chair to the panel's table during the Live Shows, Simon added: "Yeah, or in the middle."
Simon also insisted that although Nick has received a lot of criticism since joining the show, he thinks he's doing a good job.
Speaking about Nick and Rita on ITV's 'Good Morning Britain', he shared: "I like them. I mean, they settled in really quickly. The truth is that when you replace someone like Louis it takes a while for people to get used to the person they've really, really liked for 10 years so regardless who was going to come in and take his role there was always, 'Well you're not Louis', and you've got to give people a little bit of time, but now I've got to know him [Nick] as a friend. He's passionate, he's fun, loves the job, very different from Louis, but I think he's doing a good job. And Rita I think is fantastic."

Anthea Turner has compared her split from Grant Bovey to a "nuclear explosion".
The 55-year-old presenter has claimed it was as though her entire life had been turned upside down when she decided to end her marriage to her second husband amid reports he'd been unfaithful.
Asked if she was open to love again, she said: "I'd be fibbing if I said there wasn't a part of me that was open to someone coming into my life, but it would be wrong to say that I'm not massively protective of my heart.
"Someone can come into my life and leave my life, but they won't ever decimate my life. Splitting with Grant felt like a nuclear explosion. Every wheel came off my wagon - financially, professionally and personally, everything. There wasn't one thing that was consistent in my life. All of a sudden you're splitting your assets and fighting your corner. A friend told me it would take two years to get over the break-up. We argued, as I was saying it would be quicker, but it's true. A few months ago, almost two years to the day, I felt awake again. Life changes..."
The former GMTV host claimed that while she's single at the moment, she would be ready to date if she met the right man.
She told OK! magazine: "I'm very lucky as I have lots of mates, but no man at the moment. I think the right person will come at the right time. I'm in a better place and I'm in a lucky position. I do not need a relationship for status, money or social life."

Lauren Pope is quitting 'TOWIE' ['The Only Way Is Essex'].
The 33-year-old DJ, who has been a regular cast member since the reality TV show debuted in 2010, is set to bow out after its current 16th series because she wants to focus on growing her beauty empire.
A source close to the blonde beauty said: "Lauren is juggling a few businesses, with her Hair Rehab extensions doing brilliantly at the moment. The company have done celebs including Little Mix's hair and now it's going global.
"But filming keeps talking up so much of her time. The cast spend a lot of time hanging around on set, and she doesn't think she can commit to doing that for another series.
"Producers wanted her to stay, but she has too much on at the moment. She has invested in several other business opportunities and she needs to be present at meetings both in the UK and the US."
Lauren, who recently hired a new management team, is also said to be in talks for a number of other TV projects.
The insider told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "She's also had a couple of other TV offers, which she might test the water with."

Samia Ghadie almost gave birth while watching 'Coronation Street'.
The 33-year-old actress - who plays Maria Connor in the ITV soap - has revealed she thought she was going into labour while watching their recent live episode.
Asked if everything had gone to plan with her C-section, Samia said: "We didn't think it would, because the night before I was due to have the C-section it was the 'Corrie' live episode and I started to get contractions!
"I was literally sitting with my legs crossed watching the show. I was terrified to move - I thought if I did my waters would break and I would end up going into labour. I think I was just nervous for everybody and getting all wound up."
Samia - who gave birth to her and her fiance Sylvain Longchambon's son Yves last month - predicted she'd give birth on the same day her co-stars would be broadcasting live before she'd even been ruled out of appearing in the episode herself.
She told OK! magazine: "I had been joking for months at work that I was going to give birth during the live episode. When I told the producer I was pregnant, he said that ruled me out of being in the live episode. I jokingly said, 'Yes, because I'll probably be giving birth.' Which I nearly was, but luckily Yves hung on."

Lauren Goodger has confirmed she and Jake McLean aren't together "at the moment".
The former 'Only Way Is Essex' star has spoken out to admit she and her on/off boyfriend are taking some time out from their relationship because they're struggling with stress.
Lauren shared: "People have noticed that Jake and I have unfollowed each other on Instagram. To be completely honest, we're not talking at the moment and haven't done for about a week now. We haven't had any major rows and nothing has actually happened, but we are both stressed out with our own lives and I seem to bear the brunt of it."
The 29-year-old beauty - who was previously engaged to her former co-star and long-term boyfriend Mark Wright - claimed one of the reasons they're taking some time apart is because she wants to focus on herself.
She wrote in her column for new! magazine: "He's not currently staying with me and I'm focusing on my training, my career and myself. Sometimes you just need five minutes out, and I'm so busy right now I haven't had a chance to stop and give our situation any proper thought.
"Don't get me wrong, it's been horrible - but what I do know is that I can't afford to have anything or anyone distract me from my focus, so for now I'm not letting you. I will get my head round it all in time and work out what I want but for the time being, I don't have more to say on it than that."

All six groups on 'The X Factor' have been forced to change their names for copyright reasons. The category - which is being mentored by Cheryl Fernandez-Versini - has been hit by a number of copyright issues in the run up to Judges' Houses as it's re...

4th Impact want to win 'The X Factor' so they can pay for their father to have a brain tumour removed.
The girl group - made up of sisters Almira, Irene, Mylene and Celena Cercado - have revealed one of the reasons they're so desperate to win the talent show is because they need to raise £10,000 for their father Donindor's operation.
Almira said: "He has a brain mass. When it gets bigger he is going to be blind.
"He needs an operation but we don't have the money to pay for it. That's one of the reasons we want to do 'The X Factor'. He was diagnosed last year and he has been in hospital."
The four-piece, from the Philippines, are inspired by their father and would love for him to be able to come to the UK to watch them on the show.
Irene told The Sun newspaper: "His illness has affected us so much. He has been unable to travel.
"Every time we sing it's for him. Sometimes when we sing he can't see or hear us as he's unwell. It's very hard for us to be strong and it's our motivation. He inspires us and we would love him to come over to the UK and see us in 'The X Factor'.
"He used to work as a machinist but he can't do that any more. He pushes a cart and collects rubbish."
The girls' confession comes after they revealed they were "praying" for their family and friends who have been affected by Typhoon Koppu in their hometown of Isabela.
Almira said previously: "Their houses are destroyed and I think they are safe, we are thankful for that, but knowing we were born there and there's a big calamity that they are facing right now, it's very terrible."
Irene added: "We are praying for them."

'The Apprentice' candidate April Jackson dated Usain Bolt.
The 26-year-old former beauty queen - who is currently competing for a £250,000 business investment from Lord Alan Sugar on the BBC One show - reportedly enjoyed a four-month romance with the world record holding sprinter.
A source revealed: "They were introduced in 2012 but it wasn't until the following year they got closer and started to date. It was more than a fling and they developed feelings for each other. It was tricky because of Usain's busy schedule."
April is said to have enjoyed a number of secret dates with the sprinter but was forced to call time on the romance because of his busy schedule.
The insider told The Sun newspaper: "Whenever he was in London they enjoyed going to clubs and having fun.
"They called it quits as Usain's work commitments kept them apart."
However, April's fling with the 29-year-old athlete appears to have left a lasting impression on her as she referred to his incredible speed during her introduction on 'The Apprentice'.
The former Miss Jamaica said: "I'm Jamaican. We come first, we win on the track and we will win in the boardroom."

'EastEnders' actor Roger Sloman was inspired by Kellie Maloney for his latest storyline.
The 69-year-old actor's character Les Coker confessed to his wife Pam that he's a crossdresser in last night's (19.10.15) episode of the BBC One soap and Roger's revealed he read the book boxing promoter Kellie - who was known as Frank before her gender transition - wrote about her experiences to prepare for the storyline.
He said: "I got Kellie Maloney's book to read during all this and it was interesting what she went through.
"There was one part where Frank was out shopping with his wife and would completely forget himself and pick up clothes, she would look at him and say, 'What on earth are you doing?'
"I found it interesting that he would find himself doing a mannerism that he would do in his female mode and then realise he was doing it as a man."
However, while Kellie felt like a woman living in a man's body, Les simply uses crossdressing as a form of escapism.
Roger told The Sun newspaper: "He's transgender, which Les is not but what struck me, and helped me with Les, is the turmoil that he went through.
"To feel like you are living a lie, keeping all those secrets and then to break it to your family, wow.
"It was actually heartbreaking to read how he dealt with that, it was the secrecy part of his life and the fact that he had to redefine his role in the family, as the husband and father to something else."
