Louis Tomlinson basically ‘CONFIRMS’ he’s joining The X Factor 2016 judging panel

So while there is a high probability Louis Tomlinson could be joining next year's *X Factor *judging panel and it being the worst kept secret EVER, we're still very much excited that he could be sitting on the famous foursome chairs to tell people whether they can sing or not.

Will he be brutal? Will he be a reasonable judge?

Well, the 23-year-old spoke to The Sun and said: "I’ve handed my CV to Simon for next year’s show, so we will see how it goes. It’s definitely something I am thinking about.

"I am the biggest ‘X Factor’ fan and I would love to be there week in, week out and really give that level of passion. I think I would be a decent judge."

Sounds like a good enough plea for the job role.
