Axed X factor group, Bad Lashes have defended their mentor, Louis Walsh, for his indecisiveness on Saturday night’s show, which resulted in them getting the boot.

When Walsh was left with two acts in the bottom two, he decided to initialise a deadlock situation meaning that the decision would go to the public vote.

Sam Bennett from Bad Lashes told Unreality TV:

“I think Louis was really shocked when we ended up in the bottom two. We overheard him telling a journalist during the live show “I didn’t think that would happen”!”

“I understand why Louis didn’t vote for us, I couldn’t have chosen between our two acts if I was in his place. He was trying to be loyal but obviously I wish he had voted us through!”
