Louis Walsh’s XXXX Factor at being dropped from show

He says he turned the air blue when he confronted pal Simon Cowell

Wednesday, 18 July 2007

Louis Walsh has revealed how he exploded at pal Simon Cowell when he was axed from The X Factor.

The pop mogul – who says being given the boot was ‘the worst thing that’s happened in my entire life’ – has now been reinstated.

But he says he was angry that Mr Nasty did not ring him to deliver the news.

‘I felt like I’d been hit by a train,’ says Louis, 54. ‘I had no idea it was coming. Simon had said, “As long as I’m doing this show, you’re doing it with me, I promise”.’

Louis made sure Simon, 47, knew how he felt.

‘I called him every f***ing thing in the world,’ he recalls on BBC1 show You Can’t Fire Me, I’m Famous, to be broadcast on 24 July.

‘I said, “Why the f*** didn’t you tell me? You’re supposed to be a friend.”

'He didn’t realise how devastated I was.’
