In an interview given before Sunday’s X Factor results show, Louis Walsh admitted that he didn’t think John and Edward Grimes could win the show.

Louis was sure that if given the chance, Simon Cowell would vote the boys off the show. How wrong was he?

When asked if John & Edward could win, Walsh told The Daily Mail: “If I’m absolutely honest, I don’t think they can.

“If they get into the bottom two then Simon, Cheryl and Dannii will vote them out.”

Of his friendship with Simon, Walsh added: “Simon and me are very close.

“We crack each other up, that’s why it works. I don’t like normal people and Simon’s the same. We hate when normal people come in to sing. We love them slightly bonkers… what would we do without Jedward?”
