X Factor judge Louis Walsh, may have been missing from the show this week but that doesn’t mean that he wasn’t watching. In a live telephone chat with the Xtra Factor tonight, Louis admitted that he had watched the whole of the results show and added that he would have agreed with Simon Cowell and saved Rachel Adedeji.

“I never want to watch the show at home again,” he joked with Holly Willoughby. “I’ve been shouting at the TV all night.”

“I would have saved Rachel as I don’t think we’ve seen the best of her yet,” he explained. “I’m sorry about Rikki, and Rachel, pick yourself up. You can do it.”
