Louis Was Going To Be A Contestant

There was a story doing the rounds a month ago that Louis Walsh was offered a job as a judge on Strictly Come Dancing. This supposedly prompted Simon Cowell to re-hire the man he'd fired back to The X Factor.

Now 24dash.com reports an interview Walsh gave to Heat magazine, which says he was approached to be a Strictly participant, not a judge.

I haven't seen Heat myself, so I can't be sure if 24dash is mistaken or correct.
