X Factor is coming back to ITV1 in just four days time and apparently we can look forward to watching Louis Walsh being bombarded by gifts from the older ladies.

Louis has admitted that he does hold some sort of strange appeal to the granny viewers, but says he doesn’t mind as long as Simon Cowell doesn’t give Them his phone number.

When asked how he felt at getting all the pensioner action Louis laughed:

“It’s quite nice! Although Simon will take the micky out of me for days afterwards, and they always seem to be the older ladies not the young ones. It’s when Simon starts handing out my phone number to them that I get annoyed. Beula, from series 2 still rings me now after Simon gave her my number all those years ago!”

All I can say is the ladies in question must be blind, deaf and very very desperate. Louis Walsh???? I so wouldn’t…..EVER!
