After last weeks announcement that Dermot O’Leary would be replacing Kate Thornton as X factor host, sacked X factor judge, louos Walsh has claimed that it was all due to his recommendation.

“Dermot is a great guy, I am delighted for him,” Louis told the Daily Star.

“I put him forward to Simon because I think he is great at his job, he has everything – plus, he is Irish.

“He has the looks, the humour and is a very warm and genuine person. In my view he is the best male presenter in the country.”

Simon just sacked Louis, so why would he care what he has to say about anything? Come on Louis! Get over yourself!
