Simon Cowell: Louis Walsh is like an annoying mosquito

The X Factor judge says he feels like swatting him!

Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh have a turbulent friendship

Simon Cowell has admitted that he's fed up bickering with Louis Walsh on The X Factor.

The acid-tongued judge reckons they spend too much time together.

‘Louis is the equivalent of a mosquito in your bedroom,’ he says.

‘He's not really annoying until he gets close to you, then you have to swat him.’

Despite their rows Simon, 49, is enjoying the current series of the talent show.

‘I think it is going well,’ he says.

But he takes a swipe at last year's winner Leon Jackson, 19.

‘If you are going to be a star you need to have steel in your eyes. I don’t think last year’s winner had steel in his eyes.’
