Sharon Osbourne recently apologised for her shameful flirting with the young X Factor winner Shayne Ward saying it was just a playful thing and in no way serious.

I think Louis Walsh should now follow her lead and apologise for his obvious flirting with and bum licking of Shayne throughout the competition. His introductions got longer and more imploring as the weeks went on, either he really cares for his acts or he has a little secret waiting to come out!
