Former X Factor finalists, Eton Road have hit out at their mentor from the show, Louis Walsh.

Louis very publicly announced during the show last year that he was going to get these boys a record deal, but as yet this deal has not materialised.

“We’ve been left high and dry because Louis didn’t keep his word,” band member James Edwards told the Daily Star. “We’re very upset. It gives false hope to people on the show.”

He added: “Millions of people heard Louis say he’d get us a record deal and nothing has happened. It’s very embarrassing as everyone’s asking if we’re now signed - and we’re not. I’d hate for anyone on this year’s show to be told they’ll get a record deal and then spend months hanging around with false hopes. It’s soul destroying.”
