X Factor 2015: Louis Tomlinson 'to join Simon Cowell for Judges' Houses'

One Direction singer Louis Tomlinson will join Simon Cowell for the Judges’ Houses segment of the X Factor, according to reports.

Tomlinson, 22, will replace Cowell’s regular aide Sinitta for the segment which sees the judges choose the final line up for the live episodes.

It ends months of speculation over who will join Cowell with Tomlinson and former judge Louis Walsh linked to the job.

The Daily Mirror also reported that Meghan Trainor is set to join Rita Ora while Nick Grimshaw will have a helping hand in Mark Ronson and Jess Glynne will aide Cheryl Fernandez-Versini.

It is yet to be confirmed where the judges will be taking their contestants, but Grimshaw is rumoured to be taking his to Oldham in Manchester while the others may be heading somewhere more exotic.
