London
(ANI):
'X-Factor'
judge
Louis
Walsh
has
confirmed
that
Sharon
Osbourne,
who
judged
the
UK
reality
TV
talent
show
from
2004
to
2007,
is
set
to
return
for
the
next
series.
Louis'
revelation
shall
replace
Dannii
Minogue,
who
was
formerly
to
sit
in
Sharon's
judging
chair,
with
'Girls
Aloud'
beauty
Cheryl
Cole.
The
56-year-old
revealed
that
while
Sharon
would
'come
back
next
year',
Dannii
was
the
obvious
choice
to
go
between
her
and
Cheryl.
"And
obviously
Dannii
would
be
the
one
to
go
-
having
Sharon
and
Cheryl
on
the
show
together
is
too
good
an
opportunity
to
miss," the
Daily
star
quoted
him
as
saying.
The
Irish
music
manager
further
elaborated
on
the
reason
for
her
best
pal's
return.
He
said:
"The
thing
about
Sharon
is
she
can't
be
controlled.
At
the
moment
Simon
has
three
judges
who,
let's
face
it,
he
controls.
With
Sharon
we
never
knew
what
she
was
going
to
do
next
-
she
was
just
so
unpredictable.
I
really
miss
her
but
we
speak
on
the
phone
at
least
twice
a
week."
Louis
further
revealed
that
it
was
Sharon
who
guided
towards
Cheryl,
who
he
thinks
is
doing
an
incredible
job.
He
said:
"Cheryl
has
come
in
and
is
doing
a
fantastic
job.
She's
a
natural
and
definitely
has
a
career
in
television.
She
brings
the
emotion
that
Sharon
did,
without
the
mad
streak.
And,
of
course,
she's
absolutely
stunning."
"It's
funny
because
it
was
actually
Sharon
who
suggested
Cheryl
take
over
her
role
on
the
show.
And
it
was
me
who
put
all
the
calls
in
and
persuaded
her
to
do
it.
The
fact
that
she's
proved
so
popular
is
a
credit
to
Sharon."
