Cowell and Walsh make up Television's squabbling twosome Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh appear to have made up after Cowell was handed the Big Red Book in ITV's This is Your Life. The pair always played Punch and Judy for the crowds on the X Factor but things turned ugly when Walsh blamed Cowell for giving him the sack from the show. Walsh said of the sacking: "I was axed from the X Factor, stabbed in the back. The buck stops with Simon. He hires and he fires." Cowell said he aims to put the experience to good use in a TV drama about two feuding TV talent show judges: Rock Rivals, the la-*test*-('") show from Footballers` Wives creators Shed Productions. Now it appears the row is behind them. Cowell told Walsh, who appeared on the set of the Sir Trevor McDonald-anchored show in Los Angeles: "I humbly offer a grovelling apology Louis." After the pair hug, Louis tells Sir Trevor: "Listen, honestly, he`s the best. He`s a really good guy and we`ve had amazing success with our artists (including Westlife and Shayne Ward) so far. And we`re going to have a lot more with our records." He went on: "All is forgiven. Forgiven but not forgotten." Cowell said: "Let`s just say forgiven, alright." Walsh replied: "Whatever." This Is Your Life screens on Saturday June 2, 9.25pm, ITV1.Theres also some photos of Shayne at the screening from Wenn images
