Louis Walsh sparks new X Factor row

British broadcaster ITV will not be happy with Irish judge Louis Walsh, who this week has claimed that the 'Judges Houses' on hit reality show, 'The X Factor' are actually fakes.

Simon Cowell must be feeling livid, and so will Michael Grade (Executive Chairman of ITV) as viewers trust has again be rebuffed due to another lying controversy.

But Louis admitted in a TV interview with Graham Norton: "That wasn't my house. That wasn't Sharon's or Dannii's or Simon's either."

A spokesman denied any deception, saying: "We call them the judges' houses - not the judges' homes."

Louis also accused rival Simon of "picking the wrong acts" for the live finals and warned: "It's all going to kick off."
