Sharon Osbourne and Louis Walsh pose for the cameras after stopping for a drink at the Dorchester Hotel. London, England - 19.08.08

Rock matriarch Osbourne quit the show earlier this year (Jun08) following a series of rows with co-hosts Simon Cowell and Dannii Minogue.

But Walsh believes she will make a comeback alongside himself, Cowell and new recruit Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole - as a replacement for former singer Minogue.

He says, "Obviously Dannii would be the one to go - having Sharon and Cheryl Cole on the show together is too good an opportunity to miss."
