Irish music manager Louis Walsh is the least popular X Factor judge, according to Unreality TV’s poll.

An amazing 9,000 of you voted, but Louis only received a paltry 575 votes, which is a pathetic 6% of the vote. But since X Factor only cares about public opinion when there’s a phone vote behind it, Louis will probably return for the 2010 series.

In just the last series, the unpopular judge chose Irish act Jedward despite any obvious talent, gave a two-fingered salute to the studio audience and told a phone in viewer on the Xtra Factor “that’s why I’m a judge on this show and you’re sitting at home watching”. He also snapped a similar comment at presenter Dermot O’Leary during a live show. (Poll results at the end of this post)
