Walsh and Minogue 'face X Factor axe'

Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue reportedly face the axe from ‘The X Factor’. It is believed Louis could be offered the role of head judge on in Irish version of the show instead.

Show chief Simon Cowell is said to be planning the biggest shake-up in the talent show’s seven years on screen and, with him and Cheryl Cole off to work on the US version of the programme, he wants to recruit an entirely new judging panel.
