Simon Cowell sick, Louis Walsh to replace him for two days on The X Factor

Simon Cowell is flying Louis Walsh to cover for him as judge of The X Factor auditions for two days in Kansas City.

Simon has bronchitis! Get well soon Simon!

This is going to be an interesting panel. I wonder if Louis and LA will fight. LA is going to be the senior judge on the panel -- sweet!

From Daily Mail:

They say a friend in need is a friend indeed.

And it appears that despite their constant quarrelling on the X Factor panel, Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell are in fact there for one another in their hour of need.

Simon has flown Louis out to the US- at a cost of £160,000- to cover for him at the X Factor US auditions for two days.

The Syco mogul, 52, has been taken ill with bronchitis, and called on Louis at to step in at the eleventh hour.

Louis will take Simon's place today and tomorrow at the auditions in Kansas City.

Simon persuaded the bosses at Fox that Louis was the right man for the job due to his long experience on the British show since 2004.
