Louis Walsh, perhaps best known as an X Factor judge alongside Simon Cowell, Nicole Scherzinger and Sharon Osbourne, will make his stage debut in Nativity! The Musical later this year.

Taking a step away from auditioning contestants on X Factor, he’ll appear in London’s Hammersmith Apollo from the 13 December 2017.

He’ll be taking on the roll as a Hollywood producer helping teachers Mr Maddens and Mr Poppy in preparing their class to perform the nativity play.

The school opts to transform the story into a musical, encouraging the involvement of Louis Walsh’s character.
