Louis Walsh: 'No-one slags off Westlife'

 

Louis Walsh has revealed that he fell out with his former X Factor co-star Cheryl Cole over his boyband Westlife.

Walsh claimed that he had a spat with the Girls Aloud star after she said something "derogatory" about the Irish group.

"Cheryl and I had a few rows on camera but not many off-camera," he said.

"She once said something derogatory about Westlife and no-one slags Westlife off, I am their manager and I love them."

Walsh also claimed that he was the person who first recommended Kelly Rowland to be a panellist on The X Factor.

"Three years ago, I said to Simon, 'You know who would be a good judge? Kelly Rowland', and Simon was like, 'Really?'," he said.

"She's done it all. She knows how to sing and how to dance. She is a star in her own right. She is incredible!"
