A TV insider told the paper, “Louis would be fantastic in the jungle – we’d love to get him involved. He doesn’t hold back from saying what he thinks and he’s very, very funny.”

The longtime ‘X-Factor’ judge was axed from the show earlier this year, to make way for a new line-up which included Rita Ora and DJ Nick Grimshaw. Speaking about Ora Walsh said, “I think Rita is amazing and I still think 'X-Factor' is the best show on TV, bar none.”

But as for wether or not he’ll return to the show as a guest judge, Walsh added, “I can’t say anything. Am I coming back? I’m not saying that. I don’t know is the honest answer. I’d like to but let’s see what happens. Simon and I are really good friends and the one thing the show has this year is talent.”
