Louis Walsh has said that he will return to The X Factor for its ninth series.

Walsh is the only judge to have appeared on all series of the show so far since its launch in 2004. Confirming he has signed a contract, he also told The Mirror that he is unsure whether Kelly Rowland will return but hopes that she will commit to the panel for another run.

"I am so happy to have signed up for another year," Walsh said. "It's my ninth year, I'm the only person to be in it for nine years... I'm busy now from here until Christmas. I signed the deal yesterday - making it my ninth year on the show.

"I never wanted to be on TV, it was never in my plan. But now I'm on it, I love the show."

Of who will be alongside him at the judges' table when the show returns, Walsh said: "I know two of the judges who are going to be beside me, but I still don't know who the fourth is going to be just yet.

"I know for definite that Tulisa [Contostavlos] is back, and Gary [Barlow] is back. I'm not sure if Kelly is back, but I hope she is, because she worked really hard last year."

Contostavlos, Barlow and Rowland joined The X Factor last year, replacing Dannii Minogue, Cheryl Cole and Simon Cowell.

Cowell, who left the judges' table to focus on last year's launch of The X Factor USA, has said that he thinks all four X Factor UK judges will return to the programme.

Both Barlow and Contostavlos have said they are keen to stay on the show.

At least I'll see and hear Gary's sexy face, voice, accent, body everything

Tulisa keeping her job after the "incident..." YES!!!! Love her!

Y'all don't want kelly back? After Tulisa had the nerve to call Misha B (who can sing and perform 100x Better than that bitch) a bully on Live televison?

Funny! She's the only one I want to go! I haven't actively rooted against an aspiring pop star like this ...

... since last year. I always forget about that other girl who still hasn't release a solo album in the US.

Pretty much and I would love to see Kelly back as well (even though she's a terrible judge)

Nooo you don't like Tulisa?

Gary needs to hop off Simon's dick and get a personality of his own, Louis is just utterly pointless and as much as I love Kelly, she is not cut out for this job. I think Tulisa is the only one who knows what she's doing.

Death. She will never get an album out. Like, never.

Don't like the look of her. Her new fake teeth, her height (hate short pop stars not named Kylie or Robyn!), her awful tan. The blonde streaks? There's chav chic (which Cheryl specializes in) and then there's just trash.

The song's awful.

I'll never forgive her for what she did to Misha B. (I know you don't see it the way I do, so we don't have to go there.)

LONG LIVE TULISA

Kelly was good in the auditions but once live shows came around she was horrible

Kelly was a mess on the X Factor last year... she doesn't deserve to return.... I mean putting on her "sick voice", favouring the other 3 girls over Amelia, only to have to depend on Amelia to win the show... still shading the poor girl the whole time... A mess
