It seems that Olympic bronze medal winner Louis Smith doesn’t have the X Factor.

The gymnast turned up at the Birmingham auditions only to be told that he should “stick to his day job”.

A source from the X Factor camp told The Sun that Louis, who’s 20, “didn’t have a great voice.”

Louis, who competed in Beijing during last year’s Olympics, had apparently taken part in the auditions “for a laugh” and following his rejection, he said, “My main priority is the gymnastics at London in 2012.”

We’ll get to see Louis in singing action when the X Factor begins in August.
