Louis Walsh might have already been snapped up for this year's X Factor, but head honcho, Simon Cowell isn't so sure about Gary Barlow returning to the judging panel.
According to reports, Gary may be too busy with Take That commitments to head up the judges for a second season.
The singer was a hit with the show audiences last year for his straight-talking approach. But his band is about to embark on a tour and another album.
Simon told The Sun: "The show takes over your life...It's not a two day a week thing.
"I always thought that with Gary he would have the Take That commitment in 2012. But there has to be a certain amount of unpredictability with this show, it's what keeps people interested."
So will we see Mr Cowell take his place? Only time will tell...
