Louis Walsh has admitted that he was being stalked by an X Factor reject, who failed to make it past his first audition.

The man followed Louis to his £1.5 million home in North London and jumped out of bushes yelling at him.

Louis told The Star: “It was really scary and it shook me up.

“This guy got rejected at auditions and took it really badly. Everything is sorted out now.�

It’s claimed that the man may have been stalking Louis for around a month and was spotted loitering outside Louis’ home by friends.
