Caroline Flack, the host of ‘Xtra Factor’ says that she believes long-standing judge Louis Walsh won’t make this season his last on the show.

This year marks Walsh’s tenth as a judge on the show, having been a part of the programme since it began. Earlier this year Walsh said that he was planning on getting out of the show and moving on to other things, but Caroline Flack thinks he spoke too soon.

"I don't think it will be [his final year]," she told Digital Spy UK. "I don't think it'll be the same without Louis. He's like part of the furniture, ain't he?”

The news comes after it was revealed by Chris Evans that Gary Barlow would be jumping ship after this season.

Flack also thinks Nicole Scherzinger will take the win again this season, saying:

"I wouldn't be surprised if Nicole got the double whammy and won again. There's something in her. She's just amazing.

"She's a girl's girl. It's impossible to fall out with Nicole, you just couldn't.  She doesn't have a bad word to say about anybody. It's not in her. She's so nice.

"I think I'm obsessed with her. [It's like] Single White Female. I'll start getting long black hair."
