Simon Cowell has tweeted about Louis Walsh's exit

Louis Walsh

Zig and Zag mas­ter­mind Simon Cowell has appeared to confirm rumours that Louis Walsh will not be returning to The X Factor this year.

Reports of Louis' departure cir­cu­lated in yesterday's papers and a few hours ago Cowell tweeted this:

Louis Walsh is one of the good guys. We will always be friends. The door remains open and who knows what's next.……

— Simon Cowell (@SimonCowell) May 11, 2015

There's a lot to unpack about this tweet. Obviously the most out­rageous claim is made in the first sentence. Has Cowell com­pletely forgotten about The Carter Twins?

The second sentence talks about a door remaining open, which suggests it has been Louis' decision to leave the show. Perhaps of course it's not a meta­phor­ical door at all, but instead a very literal door. Perhaps this is simply the annual, self-serving Syco-generated rumour mill in full effect.

In other news there are rumours Nick 'Young Louis Walsh' Grimshaw's joining the team so who knows what on earth is happening.
